With proper swimming technique you shouldn’t ever hit the bottom. I agree that it’s better to swim in deeper pools (less waves), but most of the sports pools are designed to be able to set up 4 water volleyball courts.

Thanks for the suggestion of lessons, but I think I'm beyond training. I grew up in socal and have been swimming and diving in pools and oceans around the world. My stroke is deep as I tend to reach forward and down from decades of open water (ocean) swimming. Near the shallower edges of the sports pools I will hit the bottom if I don’t modify my strokes tor shallow water. Different strokes for different folks.

I say try to stay away from the warm water pockets near the lily pads.

Everyone in the villages can swim at any pool in the villages. I would recommend the pool at the Village of Bridgeport. The people are great and very welcoming. Try it, you will love it.

Hey, if you put your head in the water, you’re fair game.
