Excellent! Thank you!!

I agree with this advice. This was happening in our adult pool when our village was newer last year, and had to be stopped because it’s absolutely not allowed. If you have a Moultrie Creek Facebook group up and running you can post about it in the group, and remind everyone what the adult pool rules are. No classes are allowed in the adult pools. Period.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to relax and float around in a pool just to cool off on a hot summer day. It’s not being lazy. It’s how the majority of pool owners use their pools, and it’s what the adult pools were built for here in TV. Personally, because of a bad knee I can’t do much but very light movement in a pool, so I mainly just relax on a pool noodle. I’m not being lazy just as I’m sure the majority of “Adult pool” users aren’t either. You want to swim laps go to the Sports pools.

Not the way it is supposed to work, but sometimes, unfortunately, it does.

😲😱😳 My! What a big kawasaki you have!

Hopefully you bought a pool sized lot so you can build your own pool eventually because that’s the only way you’ll ever be able to truly use a pool here in TV the way you want to use it. We learned that lesson too late. We didn’t buy a pool sized lot thinking we wouldn’t need it with all of the pools here. Not only is our very close adult pool almost always crowded with a large, very loud and hard-drinking group, but the water is just too warm to enjoy in July/August/Sept. Hope you’re able to resolve your issue. I’d try very hard to nip it in the bud while your village is still new. Good luck!

Where does it say that Adult do not allow swimming? What are you supposed to do sink to the bottom and walk?

Negative generalization about the retired, semi-retired and other adults who chose to relax here. The adult pools were built for relaxation and socialization. Not swimming. Sports pool is for swimming. 3+ years here? Having a hard time finding the energy to call the rec-center for info, or just....... No, I won't say it.
🙈🙉🙊

Well, that would work. Max depth is 5 ft, and the pools aren't very large, so you could walk to the shallows. You could also bounce off the bottom and catch a breath every time you break the surface. Or grab the nearest person and ask them to save you. Maybe you need water wings? 🤔🫠😉

Or, unless you are shorter than 5' 6", you could just stand up.

Best check to see if drinking (alcohol) is allowed. If not, record it and report it. Loud, (drunk)and large, should not be in charge. No need to tolerate obnoxious jerks.

Did I say adult pools do not “allow” swimming? Please read my posts again, you have obviously missed some.

I'm sorry, Laura. Posters are intentionally misinterpreting your concern. Organized group classes are not allowed in pools other than sports pools and need to be scheduled through the rec department. Wading, floating, chatting, walking, dog paddling and doing a little swimming is allowed in neighborhood and family pools if you aren't in anyone's way. Its possible that a new neighborhood like Moultrie Creek hasn't figured this out, but you should definitely complain to the rec center. Hopefully their invitation to join in was genuine, but their class is in violation of the rules. If complaining doesn't work, organize a splash- in commencing just before their 'class' with a dozen of your friends and crowd them out.

Yes! someone who gets it.
TV "swimming pools" are a joke. It's been my biggest pet peeve for over 10 years, since swimming is the only outdoor activity I can do. I have lived here full time since 2003.
By 2014, I had to completely give up on TV amenities as TV had gotten so crowded you couldn't get into ANYTHING (without standing in long waiting lines which not all of us can do.) Town squares packed/wall to wall people, rec centers activities/classes all full, any good shows at the venues sold out unless you got the tickets in the first HOUR they went on sale.
I would check the weekly rec schedule every week for sport pool lap times, even driving to pools at the opposite end of TV. I needed the rope lanes to guide me and keep a straight line. It would usually take me the full 50 minute allotment to do my laps. Sometimes I couldn't even get a lane due to walkers! Or standing in the hot sun waiting for a lane to open up, then someone who arrived 10 minutes after you jumps in and takes the lane right out from under you.
Gradually, classes and volleyball completely took over. The only lap times were at dawn. I'm sorry; I am not getting up at zero dark thirty for anything.
I started trying different adult pools. Very cliquish, and I got weird looks for trying just a couple laps when it was not busy. I don't even do freestyle. I do a military swim stroke that is stealthy with zero splash.
So what if lap swimming doesn't fit as many people at once. They should either keep a couple lanes available at all the sport pools throughout the day or dedicate ONE pool that keeps all the ropes in and schedules zero volleyball or classes. Also, walkers should not be able to take up swim lanes. They can walk around at any of the other pools ... and socialize at the same time.
Sheesh, it's not rocket science.
I've just been frustrated that I certainly don't get my money's worth for "the lifestyle" and amenities that many of us don't actually get to use. The sheer number of residents just makes everything too difficult. The Lifestyle is really just an illusion for the newbies and a way to charge more for houses and those stupid ridiculous bonds.
We paid off 2 and then had to move again, so now stuck with a third bond. I feel I've contributed more than my fair share to the infrastructure or whatever. So many changes in the past 20+ years, some good, some not. They took away the indoor lap pool. Then, the buffalo, and so on.
Okay, rant over. Sorry.

On rare occasion when I go to pool I do what I want. I float, swim little, bobb. I pay my amenities don’t let no bullies rule over me. I ran into this the first month I was here. Bullies thinking the own villages pools.

During a lifestyle visit, I remember someone telling me about a water aerobics class in the adult pool in the morning, so I went. There were only about four women: the instructor and three students. There were no others in the pool yet. It was empty. It was early in the morning. I was told that the water aerobic classes get full so fast that they have their own. I only went once, and we did not bother anyone. It was fun, though.

This water aerobics activity happened years ago at Creekside Landing Pool in Lake Sumter when it was used for lifestyle preview visits. I do not know if it is still used for these visits.
