He didn't. TomOB is the one who move to OTOW...

Why he is still posting here is a mystery, wrapped in an enigma...

Go early in the morning or late in the evening before the pool closes.

NO. Go through the proper hoops and get special approval. Otherwise, other swimmers will report this as a violation. Which it is. Lap lines are almost at capacity in the early morning.

Why not play be the rules?

I wonder if there are any pools outside of the Villages for people who live there. In Long Island NY, We have a sports pool at Eisenhower state Park. Check local parks and recreation.

That's what happens when you don't follow the rules, I applaud community watch for their actions.

She did not belong in the pool! It was correct to ask her to leave!

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.

Really? I am speechless. Does anyone else think this is not ok?

how do we keep the walkers and jumpers out of the adult pools. They belong in the exercise pool.

Should everyone just stand still? What, exactly, is appropriate conduct in adult pools?

Finding an open lane to swim laps in the sports pools can be very difficult at times for amenity fee paying residents, which is why these pools are limited to use by RESIDENTS ONLY. Lap swimming opportunities are generally limited to early mornings and evenings because the pools are monopolized during prime mid day hours by the various group classes and water volleyball. The situation has gotten worse since Covid as it appears many people have taken up lap swimming during the pandemic as a safe outdoor activity. During the busy season sometimes it is next to impossible to get a lane if you are not an early morning person. Not only are there many more people attempting to use an already overcrowded amenity, the evening lap swimming opportunities are quickly cut short by dark once the clocks are turned back an hour. I wish daylight savings time was year round.

You will join the very small percentage that leave. I don't think 3 months is the record, though.

TV is not for everyone. Some people get under my skin too, yup ya gotta stay out of the way of the walkers who believe they own the space they take up. This site though and some of the comments remind me of my bar room days the sign read “cows may come and go but the bull in this place goes on forever.”
