I am reading this and really upset. I need water therapy and am moving to tv soon. If this thread is correct, I am out in left field! I thought the wellness center at the hospital had such a service.
Please tell me this is just an incorrect rumor.

The Wellness Center ...IS... moving to La Reina building on Spanish Springs Town Square.
You can read the article in today's Daily Sun
http://www.thevillagesdailysun.com/

What's not mentioned is the POOL.
No info on that.

O.K. You all know how I like POSITIVE, but for Pete's sake, I think they should have mentioned the Pool in the article in THE DAILY FUN! I have never thought to need an indoor pool but the post by the person that said he/she needed water therapy made me realize it was more important than just swimming for fun.

if you qualify for medically necessary water therapy i believe two of the lady lake rehabiliation centers in the villages have very small heated therapy pools. while not a replacement for the popular water classes at the wellness center. it might be an option for some folks.

i checked and the correct name for the mult- location rehab facility in the villages is
lake centre for rehabiliation.
one small therapy pool is located in their facility directly in back of the wellness center. tele 352-753-6999.
the other i believe is at their facility on old camp road in sumter landing tele 352-259-6750.

Default And Now You Know Half the Story

The award-winning writer who penned the “Wellness Center Move” story for the developer (Daily Sun) knows there are at least three gaping questions left unanswered: what will become of the Wellness Center building after the move? What will become of the indoor swimming pool? And, since there are many Villagers who need water therapy and cannot tolerate the sun or other outdoor elements, what is their recourse? The story's silence to these questions is deafening. Oh well, don’t worry, be happy!

Default Japan has largest indoor pool??

It just doesn't seem right! I think the Morse family could build this type of pool.........I think the world would notice and Disney for adults would explode with folks and homes would sell like hotcakes...

Looks like a fantastic facility there in Japan.
Even a golf course in the backround.

I wonder HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO USE? ; and would we be willing to pay?

I totally agree with RR tho'.... I even picked out the spot.
That patch of land between the 2 Palmer courses on 466.

I think it would be a great place for a indoor pool; maybe with a gym inside; glass windows overlooking the courses & homes. What a view!

Rhonda, Maybe a letter direct to Gary Morse with a picture of this pool would start his creative juices flowing. I know I pay 100+ per month for pool upkeep. What would the market bear for something like this? Would you pay 1K per year for a household membership? How many households would be willing to join?
You just never know. Ask and you may receive. As someone pointed out, the press on this pool would be worth a small fortune to the marketing dept. Aln picked a wonderful location.
