Four of us are coming down for 5 days to check out TV, going to check a few pools and wanted to see the two best adult pools should we look at? We are all over 60 years old. And am I reading this right no food or drink at the pool? Would like to have a few cocktails.

No food or drink *in* the pool. No glass inside the gated area. Coolers at the tables are fine.

I do not think there is a best pool here,

Bout all the same down here unless you come during winter then they are the same but only fuller with peoples. Just make sure you get your visitor passes or you will be lookin in from the outside, LOL

Food and drink are ok as others started.

Some newer pools are "resort" style (kidney shaped) beach entry.

The pool at Fenny is family but food and drink are available poolside.

The pools use a salt water process that eliminates the need for high concentrations of chlorine for sanitation.

Bring pool noodles ;-)

The actual pool and layouts are almost all the same. Food and drinks are allowed in the sitting areas but some of the "pool police" frown up alcohol being consumed in the original container or in party cups. A Yeti is fine though and cans of beer or vodka coolers in a koozy is acceptable to most.

Thank you, we have our visitor passes and are all-professional pool side drinkers and know the tricks.

The pool closest to where you’re staying is the best choice. You won’t be allowed in Sports pools at regional rec centers, and most pools at the smaller rec centers are family pools so might have children playing in them. The adult pools located next to each village’s postal station are the pools for ages 30 and up, and are the ones usually used by residents or visitors of that particular village. You can use any non-sport’s pool of course, but why travel far from where you’re staying, especially if you’ll be drinking.

All the adult pools are about the same. Rules are posted on the wall at each pool. No one under 30 allowed in the adult pools. You don't say where you are visiting ( the village you are in). There is quite a distance here between the southern end and the northern end. Maybe narrow it down for us? BTW, you will need much more than 5 days to check out the villages.

Drink what you want. Just put it in a lidded cup so none of the “ pool police” poke their nose in your business as previously stated. Theres a few of them at every pool

ALL of the adult pools are the same…they’re just neighborhood specific. NO children is the selling point.

Staying just north of Lake Sumter Landing, this will be our second visit. If we do move there, we plan on renting for the first year to get a feel for the best area to buy. Plus, I'm learning about CDD fees, and they seem to be all over the place.

No glass. No glass. No glass. Don't bring your drink into the pool. Enjoy!

All villages tables are 9 by 5…. O wait wrong kind of pool. As said no glass and no snickers bars you’ll be fine and have great time, but watch out this place is catchy and sticks like glue…

IMO only hidden fee or fee not out front are end of year maintenance fees which add to you yearly taxes. Naturally this depends on county and how pricey house was that you brought. IMO Marion county has slightly higher taxes than other two?
