This is a sort of it depends question as it depends on where you are. If you are at the tennis villas in the West Village, the studios in the West Village, the 1-bedroom units in the North Village, one of the hires units in the East Village with a pool next to it, or at River Island, then you can walk to the pools as they are, for the most part, right outside your unit. There are areas where the pools may be further out and you are best to use the shuttles or drive your car. Orange Lake is a large resort and there are many areas that are not next to a pool. For some people, the peace and quiet is well worth it to be located away from the pools but for others, they want to be near the center of the activities especially if they have smaller children
