There is a swim team.Lessons are also offered. This association is able to offer memberships to those outside their community because they are a voluntary(not mandatory) association.

20 mins away from Redland Woods

If you drive to Northern Hills it takes 20 mins.

I think I would rather walk to my neighborhood pool. I guess I will have to build my own, since all the excess cash is going into landscaping.

Maybe I will go lay in the landscaping and DREAM I am laying in the Redland Woods Neighborhood Pool.

Happy Dreams to the NEW Board

Missed the point

I'm sure that those posting the locations for swim club memberships are trying to be helpful, and I appreciate the information.

But some may miss the point. The real issue is that when I go to sell my home, my home will not sell as quickly (or I will have to take less money), because our community doesn't have a pool, and most of the other communities in this area have a pool. Thus, we are the poor shoeless children. This may sound snobish, but I think we are already seeing a change in the quality of people moving into the neighborhood as I see more cars on blocks and lawns that are not mowed.

Yes, I could build a pool in my backyard, but many people want a neighborhood pool for the feeling of a neighborhood. We really don't have a neighborhood that works or plays together. If you don't believe me, just ask the opinion of other families at school or ask a local realtor.
