Not heated beyond 86°. Rest is solar heat. Go early.

Buy an extra long hose and run it to the pool from your house. Since it's summer they would have have to change the water every two or three days to keep the water cooler. Not going to happen.

Just when you think all of the complaints have been covered, someone comes along and proves you wrong.

The good commercial pools have water chillers which are turned on in the summer in Florida. There are terrific pools in Clermont and up in Gainesville that are chilled. You won't find that in The Villages, too cheap.

They would have to do that for all the pools. Not cheap, prudent for once.

I priced out the installed price for a chiller for a typical neighborhood pool a number of years ago. It came to around $5,000. I had called a major supplier of pool chillers in the USA. He said his company has sold many chillers in places like Arizona and many in Florida as well. You can usually lower a pool’s temperature around 6-8 degrees. So if the water is 94 you can lower it to 86. I mentioned that the price may be an obstacle, but then he said that when you go to replace a heater for your pools, just replace it with their heat pump that both heats and cools the pool. Excellent idea. Cost of electricity was modest for running the heat pump.

The Mulberry Sports Pool has a chiller that is used when the VAST swim team is practicing and training. I believe it was purchased by VAST.

i must say that some of these answers to a real question I expected.. some were helpful, others just sarcastic nonsense.. I'm sure that if this was a question regarding something about golf, the answers would be different. what a crock of crap(not the word I wanted to use)

As of 2019, there were 89 pools in The Villages. I'm not sure what the count is now.

If a commercial pool water cooler/chiller is between $6-10k (not including installation, maintenance and electric usage, I'm rough guessing a million or so for the initial purchase.

Who is going to pay for this so you won't be too warm when you go in this time of year?
