When you don’t care how your behavior affects others, don’t be surprised by the consequences. I suspect that this is where some “entitled” people start complaining … what happened to the “friendliest town on earth?”

Behavior in a swimming pool, seriously? It's a pool for splashing and swimming. Have a cocktail party on your patio if you want a perfect hairdo and conversation. Talk about a screwed up perception..

Again, the neighborhood pools are not “swimming pools”. I don’t know where this misconception comes from. What about bath tubs or hot tubs are they also considered “swimming pools” because you can splash in them? This is a person who was a long time member of the university swim team, asking.

Yes, they are swimming pools, they are not standing pools, washing pools, wading pools, come and save your hairdo pools.. They are swimming pools! If not, The Villages needs to advertise them as standing pools where you are not to move around or make a splash. Not many normal people would buy into a standing pool or where you are not to make a splash. Good grief, maybe they could make a public 2-in wading pool for the old people to stand in and talk to each other.

Why would anyone come into a swimming pool or a pool as you put it and expect everyone else to stand around with their hands at their side because it makes you comfortable. That doesn't make sense. This is like stating once you go to the grocery store, stand by a shopping basket and not move. No shopping because it would upset the staff and they might mess up their hair.

The interpretation of that to me, is if you show up to swim laps, be sure to yield to the bathers who are there to not swim laps. Give them their space, and you can occupy the other spaces in the pool instead, assuming there is other space available. The socializers call dibs on the square footage they occupy. The swimmers get second-best, when available. Again - this really is a non-issue. Swimmers are ALLOWED to swim in these pools. Swimming is NOT forbidden in these pools. If you value your hairdo, wear a shower cap when you enter the pool. If you don't want salt water (or chlorine, as the case may be) in your eyes, wear sunglasses (which you should be doing anyway, to protect your eyes and delay and reduce risk of cataracts). |

That is not what I am saying and you have read my posts, so I guess you know. I am suggesting that those who want to “splash and enjoy themselves” or swim or whatever, do it when there are few to no people to inconvenience. Most pools I have been to, this is what actually happens. Perhaps at your neighborhood pool it is different.
