From what I’ve observed, individual tolerance for heat and cold varies greatly.

Your neighborhood pool sounds warm! If you don't mind me asking, which pool is it? I have checked several and the temp seems to vary. I wish they were all kept at 84-85.

Each degree of temperature to heat the swimming pools in the winter months is quite expensive and we don’t like price increases in amenities.

The water is always heated...I swim most days ....getting out on cold days I do noot talk much and go to the locker room and there are warm showers there too......I swam when it was in the 30s a week or so ago and it was fine. for me, it depends on how I feel on that day at that time...I lap swim so I am in the water for some time too

My understanding is that all the pools in TV,
are heated to be in the 84-85 degree range in cooler weather.*
Now the one I frequent is very consistent as are a couple of others I’ve used, but maybe some VCDD districts aren’t run or maintained as well??
I can only share how things are handled in my district.

In the summer if we’ve had a string of 90+ days,
and warm nights the pool temps will be much higher.

*Found this from the recreation department, and I stand corrected!

“All pools are heated during the cooler months. We strive for water temperatures between 81-84 degrees. Temperature will fluctuate depending on the weather.”

By the way I sent you a PM.

The only thing I found interesting when I was researching all the communities to where I was going to buy, is that the Villages has not one indoor pool. All other communities that we visited all throughout Florida and in south Carolina had indoor and outdoor pools.

This explains why I was all alone swimming in McClure today. The water was warm and only suffered a moment getting out. The best part is bragging to the Grandchildren that I was doing their favorite thing on Christmas.

I will gladly take a very cold day with an empty pool to swim laps, seven days a week and twice on Sunday, versus a beautiful warm day with an overcrowded pool.. To each his or her own I guess? Merry Christmas!

What pools can you swim in??? What is allowed? Can you direct me to a site that outlines the pool rules?? Thanks!

A bit of trivia for you. The Orange Blossom CC swimming pool uses the waterfall to help regulate pool water temperature. When the pool falls below 80 degrees they turn the waterfalls off. The moving water cools off faster exposed to the outside air in turn dilutes the temperature of the whole pool quicker. Similar to circulating water through your cars cooling system with a thermostat to regulate engine temp. Likewise by turning the waterfalls on above 80 degrees helps to keep the water cooler during hot spells. So now you know if you go by OB pool and the water is flowing over the falls the water in the pool is above 80 degrees and safe to go back into the water.
