Sounds like you're actually making an argument against anyone building an indoor pool. If there are so many that want one, how many pools would be needed to meet the demand, especially in the high season? How many of those people you describe would be willing to pay extra to use it? Or would a fee discourage them? Don't you think that if an indoor pool was sustainable financially that the developer would put one or more in already? I'm confident that if it were viable, we would have one or more. These are not inexperienced business people.

How would golfers like it if non-golfers here told them in a mocking tone that no more golf courses are needed in the new construction villages south of 466-A??

That is exactly what is being done to lap/fitness/team swimmers here who state the need--for various reasons--for an indoor lap pool.

People who never swim in a lap/sport pool here do not know what the needs and willingness to pay for a membership are of the people who do use the lap/sport pools.

And as for those who say "there's not enough interest shown in an indoor lap pool" and those who say "people wouldn't want to pay for a membership", well I'd say "how are people supposed to say they want it and would pay for a membership" when we've never been asked??

Surely we state the need/desire in the annual TV Survey, but we are not told the results of written comments about this subject.

That's a school. We have almost 100,000 retired people. You can't compare that with a school !

Yes 100,000 retired old people with time on their hands will undoubtedly have more use for an indoor pool than some students.

Not exactly. There never was an indoor lap pool supplied by TV. (The wellness center had one and it was a separate membership not affiliated with your monthly amenity fees). So when you purchased your house there was no indoor pool included anywhere. Golf was and is part of the monthly fees.

On kind of the same subject. I am beginning to see golfers and pickleball players wearing a sort of stocking like sleeve to protect from sun damage. It kind of looks like what we used to call "opera gloves" without the hand part. Makes the old timey bathing suits not look so stupid. I also am wearing a cover up to swim and for the first time applying sun screen to exposed parts of my body. The sun here is nearer to the earth than it is in Ohio.

Sport pools ARE "included anywhere" when one purchases a house here and pays monthly amenities fees. It's the type of sport pool we are talking about, and every one doesn't need to be the type we're talking about.

There are many types of retractable roofs and sliding-door sides that can be built to enclose a commercial pool without building a massive building around it. Just one of many examples is shown here: http://www.libartusa.com/project/4618/

Looks like something (the enclosure) to bring to the AAC. Of course it would only apply north of 466 right now, but perhaps a precedent can be established for when the facilities south are transferred to the central district. Sure looks like a less expensive alternative to a stand alone building.
