And just how is it that they would be ruining it for everyone? I’m sure most people will respect the guidelines, but there has to be some flexibility. Everyone is not going to act exactly the way you or even The Villages thinks they should. These amenities are paid for by the homeowners. They are not a gift. Im pretty sure The Villages realize they cannot get too heavy handed in this. As individuals I think we have the right to control what we do, and not so much what other folks are doing.

Sports pools should only allow 10 persons , allmoving in the same direction, lenghthwise swimming or jogging. One person gets out, another allowed in. No width wise walking!

I can't swim laps anymore because of leg issues. I am now just doing water walking. Trying to use the adult/family pools is hard because some folks like to stand at the edge of the pool and chit chat. I don't have a problem with that because I think everyone has the right to use the pools as they see fit. So, I use the sports pools during combo swim to water walk. That being said, I highly disagree with the suggestion of no cross walking in the pool!!

Why did they not open all of the pools? Sounds like they’re setting us up for failure.

It is not just a few villagers that don't play by the rules. We have a huge amount of newcomers within the last five years that believe they are entitled to whatever they want and when they want it. The pools will not last long at all. Years ago we had monitors at the pools and that did help a little bit. Because there was a cost to it the Developer Corp. decided to get rid of monitors and save a few bucks.

It is far higher than 2%. It is more like 65%. Besides, how many of you have really thought about what is floating in those pools. How many of you stop complete strangers and ask them to come into your house and get in your bathtub with you? Not to gross you folks out, but pee, feces, drainage from open wounds that are in areas you can't see just to name a few things floating in the water you are walking in. Chloride doesn't kill everything.

Doesn’t look like pickleball will open then.

Don’t forget some may be married couples who live in the same house! Do they still need to social distance from each other? Of course not. Don’t judge before the facts are known.

Wow! What an selfish attitude! People are just trying to protect themselves form inconsiderate people like you. I am really tired of having to stay at home all the time because “honest, god-fearin’ ‘Muricans” won’t let anyone tell THEM what to do and won’t listen to reason when it comes to covering their faces to prevent spraying their germs on others.

I’d go out more often and spread my money around the local businesses and help get the economy on track, but no, people like you refuse to cover up and so it’s not safe to do so.
