POR pools?

[kitkat4622]

I was comparing moderates just out of curiosity on mydisneyexperience.com and it gives me this for POR pools:
6
Alligator Bayou Pool 2

Ol' Man Island Pool

Magnolia Bend Pool 2

Magnolia Bend Pool 1

Alligator Bayou Pool 3

Alligator Bayou Pool 1

Is there really 6 pools? this sounds incorrect to me

There are 6 pools at Riverside... the main pool, Ol' Mans Island and 5 quiet pools in the surrounding areas of the resort.

Love the quiet pools. Contrary to reports we were able to swim at quiet pools after they closed from 4th through 12.

I don't know the closing times of the pools, but I beleive the term "quiet pool" refers to the fact that there's no theming, slides, etc...at least that's what I read.

We had a "quiet pool" right outside our room at POR, but we far preferred the main pool. The quiet pools can be relaxing, but they are not particularly special. For people who just like to lounge and relax around a pool, or for kids who think any kind of pool is special, they can be enjoyable.

We love the theming of the main Disney resort pools, but the quiet pools seem very ordinary.

I think they do not typically have lifeguards, so that may be why people can use them past typical pool hours.

You also get to use the pool at POFQ.

The quiet pools are not intended to be special. They are intended to be convenient, and a respite from all of the noise and activity of the main pool. There are quite a few guests who actually prefer the quiet pools for those reasons.

This is us, we avoid the main pool and if the closest quiet pool is too busy, we find another.
