Wow. You must have awesome bladder control on long trips. (Are you the lady that pees on the toilet seat instead of lifting it?) 🤣

Are we now saying we can not share a pool bathroom with the underlinings that keep our neighborhood what it is? Elitists much! WOW.

Pools are only for the use of residents and guests who have guest passes. I have seen neighborhood rec center attendants check IDs and ask people to leave who did not have an ID or guest pass with them, but I believe that's just random and not done very often.

True, I agree!

Card carrying members and guest only

[stebooo]

They are not open to the public. Residents and guest only

[Bruce T]

Pools are only open to Village residents. This is in part of our monthly fees.

I've lived here almost 8 years and was using the pools on a regular basis. Occasionally, someone would come in to check ID's. However, there were people who, knowing ID's were being checked, quickly jumped into the pools. You were not required to leave the pool so your ID could be checked. Were they non-residents or merely someone who forgot their ID? Your guess is as good as mine.
I think ID's should be checked by staff for ANYONE entering the pool area.

Not enough staff.

Many hotels require you to scan in your room keycard to access a pool. The Villages could easily do the same without increasing staff. At neighborhood pools, they can move the fencing so that bathrooms fall outside the fence. This would restrict pools to residents, create a deterrent to non-residents seeking access to the pool, and allow public access to bathrooms. I’ve seen many hotel pools set up this way. It could be done here.

At the pool close to my house there are regular “frogs” who sort of keep track of who goes into the pool. I remember when my hubby and I were on lifestyle visit and we went to check out who was at our future neighborhood pool. There was this ex Marine type of gentleman that kept an eye on us. We went back 3 more days in a row and he was always there, always keeping an eye on us. Our ID’s were also checked once a day. We passed.... whew....

So, 80 employees assigned to sit at the entances of all the pools? Worth a re-think.

Residents only.
