Family member pass should allow her grand daughter access to the pool.

No one mentioned you had gone………..

What, that's already been posted 5-6 times?

I guess it would help to read the thread before posting... ;)

Correction 8 times…😎

In case you missed it, sport pools are resident only. They are set up for sport functions: volleyball, Aqua aerobics. TEA has many classes there.
Her granddaughter CAN get an accepted pass as long as the rules of doing so are followed!!
She should be asking this question to the regional rec center, not this website!!

Well don't tell anybody but there is an entrance to the sport pool at Rohan off the right side parking lot, you don't have to go through the front door. Make sure she has her guest ID just in case, but probably nobody will check. Check the recreation news and any time it says "combo swim" she would be ok. Part of the pool will be in lanes, and part will be open for walkers. Hope this works. I have gone in the side entrance gate numerous times and never been checked by the staff. I can't think what she could do to look at least 55. Pray a little maybe. Give it a try.

I hope your not a villager?
Having a guest id won’t help in a sport pool. If she’s checked, a guest Id won’t save her.
Other residents in the pool can call into the center and report her if it looks suspicious.
They will come out and check.
I’ve been the person checking too many times!!
If you want to give advice, give it by following the rules!

Unbelievable!
Any advice on shoplifting?

Here’s another option. Contact The Village Aquatic Swim Team
https://www.usms.org/clubs/florida-a...swim-team-1213

They are masters swimmers (55 and up). I guarantee, most of them were high level swimmers when they were teenagers.
Explain the situation, they would probably welcome your granddaughter, train with her and give her feedback.
I know a lot of Master swimmers (not in TV) and all of them would welcome your granddaughter.

Pool access
 
We had a similar problem.
Fortunately we have Priority Golf Membership that includes use of Country Club Pools.
You can also just get a Country Club pool membership.
Evans Prarie Country Club Pool would possibly be a good interim substitute pool and when I’ve been there it has not been busy… maybe 4/5 other people.
Hope this helps.

Only in neighborhood family pools. The others, the pools that are at regional rec centers, one must be a villager, not a guest.

WHERE IS A POOL IN The V FOR HER TO USE?
Appreciate any help

Marcy is right... go to rec center, ask for a form, it takes awhile but hopefully will get approved. You may have to go higher up than a rec center manger, but I have seen approvals for situations as this. Rare but not unheard of.

Bogie Shooter, didn't I read a post that you moved to OTOW? Why are you still posting on TOTV?
