I'm headed there in 2015, but can't find a contact. Any help.....even though this thread is fairly old? Thanks Send an email to Bob Jennings. He's the Florida LMSC chair and he lives in The Villages. His email address is: FLchair (at) usms (dot) org

This is a user-supported and maintained resource that I use. User-maintained means the info isn't always accurate, but it has never failed me in at least finding one pool I can access where ever I travel: http://www.swimmersguide.com/

My problem is, as a visitor, I'm not allowed to use the lap pools, only the recreational ones. My Dad tried writing a letter to allow adult visitors to use the lap pools for a fee or something but got nowhere. A remote isolated enclave of angry noodlers, my worst fear realized, well, second worst fear actually.

Originally posted by Susan The Florida State Senior Games are supposed to be at the Villages, so they must have a regulation size pool. They do, and it's gorgeous! I would love to swim in that baby.

I know, the place is just huge. I haven't heard back from the team leader, and she may be away for the holiday. I brought my jogging stuff too, just in case it doesn't work out.

The Villages is located in the middle of the state. It a very large retirement community that sprawls over three counties, and there probably isn't a Y or lap pool nearby that isn't in the complex as the surrounding area is quite rural.

If you're a member of USMS most teams will let you come to their workouts while you're visiting town. Some might charge a small fee. To find the team nearest to where you're visiting you can search Places to Swim: www.usms.org/.../search.php Then you can contact the team, and ask them about specifics on visiting members.

The Villages has a masters swim team - I've seen them listed as a chapter of FACT (Florida Aquatic Swim Team). Maybe you could swim with them?
