Emailed Sam Wartinbee as suggested in posts. He replied (appreciated) that he forwarded the email to the Community Property Management team since the District has yet to acquire these pools?

Do I see a buck flying next to a duck ????

I, for one am concerned about how clean the pools both regional/neighborhood really are.
Swimming laps as I do often, I've seen band aids and other pieces of black debris floating along the pool bottom. I've never seen people checking the bacterial content of the water like you see often at YMCA's. Who does this and when do they do it ? Granted I am not at every pool in the Villages but have most recently been at Seabreeze, Colony and Lake Miona. They were not sparkling ....that's for sure !

Unless there is an immediate problem, pool maintenance is done at night when the pools are closed.
I am at Laurel Manor sports pool 3 times a week attending a class. It is sparkling.
My neighborhood pool is in Tamarind Grove. It is sparkling too. So is ST. James, which I have visited.
I have been to the country club priority pools as well, yet to see an unkempt pool in TV, or a pool with floating duck poop. Lucky, I guess.

HOWEVER, it is common courtesy and a REAL health consideration to refrain from entering any pool when you have a wound, open cut, scab or stitches, BANDAGES, etc.
I get my knickers in a twist when I see that and usually leave the water and the pool. It is gross and I am not famous for being politically correct, so better that I leave before I stick in my two cents worth.

No. Not if you understand the Community Development District form of government.
BTW Sam is not a buck passer!
