Not much else to do down there. The turnpike noise and views are great however!

Most activities in the villages have a capacity including water Aerobics and water volleyball which you have to arrive at least a 1/2 hour early to ensure you get a spot.

It was not stated if it was a community or sports pool but yes there have been lines for activities in those. Until the new bridge opens to make it easier to get to Everglades it’s going to be like that. So many people in the area ( St Cath, Cason Ham, Hawk, Brad and Chitty) will cause this.
Welcome to new areas of TVLGs

Sometimes there is a line at Fenney Family Pool, especially during Holiday weekends when people have families visit. It is a very nice, very popular pool. The limit is 78 people, and I’ve spoken to the staff in charge, monitoring the count and not letting anyone else in until someone leaves.

There's also lots of kids camp activities going on daily now too but I've never had to wait in line for a pool around here. 😊

Default Pool Wait?

We have lived here in Citrus Grove for a while and have never experienced a pool waiting line…Ever

Even New Year’s Day when we had the most people there was no line at all. It must have been some kind of Water Sporting event?

Is that a capacity issue at the pools down there or was a special event going on? Had to be a family pool, kids were in the line. Seems strange since up Sumter/Brownwood way many of the pools were practically empty. Just curious, didn't see much down there that would make me want to move south.
Everglades and Spanish Moss pools are sports pools and will have lines to get checked in to water aerobics and volleyball. Fenney pool is a family pool. I saw a line once there only because it was closed for maintenance or something and was just reopening, so people were lined up as they were waiting for it to open. Otherwise, never any lines.

To the person who thinks all regional rec centers only have sports pools, Fenney is a regional rec center and it's a family pool.

Also...yeah, we definitely all hate it down here, you won't like it, the constant traffic noise, the 24 times a day massive booms, prison escapes, nothing to do for miles and miles, and I am not sure what all the loofahs on the golf cars are about....save yourself, stay up north...

No, pools in the Southern areas are not crowded. Must have been an event.
