I moved here almost a year and I am less sure now than ever. I may have stayed in the Midwest not far from st louis. I went to lake miona pool the other day and the walkers were nasty asking the staff to call the police be abuse someone was swimming in their area??? They proceeded to throw water on his clothes on the deck. No it was not mine but I had trouble understanding this behavior and did not see it here before anywhere. It makes me sad.

I hope you find a friendly area, there used to be one here I've heard

There is a brand new Villages like community in southern Spain called Ambera which looks amazing. I would go there for sure. It’s like the beginning of TV and well it’s SPAIN!

Incredible isn't it? Though I'm not at all surprised. Gave up several years ago. All those pools in TV and you can't SWIM in any of them. It would be funny if it wasn't so ridiculous. Can't find lane times at sports pools and if you try to swim at an adult pool, you get dirty looks or worse!
So sorry you witnessed such mean, boorish behavior. Unfortunately, it is all too common.

Never understood the naming of the pools in TV.
Only swimming pools I have known where swimmers are not welcome, banned, or given the minimal ammount of room, and if you digress, the verbal abuse a swimmer receives is unbelievable!
Walkers? Talkers is more apt, are the curse of the pools.
Most have never walked a yard in their lives!

In our neighborhood pool we have these ladies who keep walking across the pool in twos and threes and do not even think of taking their space.

They make it rather hard for those of us who would actually want to swim in the pool.

I never wanted to live in TV. Hubby liked it ever since we first visited in 2008. I would rather have been a little closer to the gulf coast and farther south ... somewhere between Ft Meyers and Sarasota. I would rather a condo or attached home where someone else is responsible for lawn maintenance. Since we are here tough, its really more about the lifestyle than anything. I am hoping once COVID is under control that life could return to a more robust social life

I would also think about moving to Clearwater Beach or even further south near a beach that I could go to in the winter.
