Don’t think that can apply to golf or swimming pools. That would make no sense whatsoever. Once you got a mask wet you wouldn’t even be able to breathe through it. Pretty sure they’re going to have to clarify that

I have sent a suggestion to The Villages that they go with half hour and see how that works out. Will post here if I get a reply.

Lots of people where masks while swimming. Perhaps you could slide by if you just wear swimming goggles instead of a swimmmask.

Zuul is the Gatekeeper

I agree 100%. Would make a lot more sense.

only if the government does it … overseas or in Gitmo (or anywhere else as long as they keep it quiet). Oh, I'm sorry, you asked if it was legal; I'm confusing that with do they do it

Those masks are either snorkel masks or swim goggles.....totally different from the masks people are wearing now in public spaces to mitigate the corona virus.

John Rohan has come back saying that there will be plenty of slots at one hour.

I guess he hasn't done the math: 13 hours x 11 pools x 4 lanes = 572 slots per day

and that's across all sports pools all day - pick the wrong pool or the wrong time and you will be in for a long wait

Why is the Rec Dept so reluctant to take suggestions from those who actually use the facilities?

[Chatbrat]

Because he walks on water & is the rec center GOD

Because if they took suggestions from the hundreds that would give them which ones would they listen to? Everone has an opion and everyone believes their's is the right one. I suspect that if we start at this point and they can expand they will.....rather than start and need to contract.
