A swimming retirement community?

I have had the idea of a retirement community centered around a 50 meter pool. There would be condos, apartments, houses and mobile homes available all very close or on the ocean for OW swimming. The Villages near Orlando just seems too big and spread out and not close enough to the ocean.

  • Check out Saddlebrooke Ranch near Tucson ... It's getting there! They have indoor & outdoor lap swimming pools & what looks like a large fitness center on site. Not a bad choice. But the nearest grocery store is 8 miles away, a little too far for a golf cart ... Rather OT for this board, but what do people do when driving becomes a problem? My dad, for example, is 88 years old, and in terrific health. But he has to drive everywhere. There's nothing within walking distance. In 2 years, he'll be 90. What then?
