Pool Rules

The Lifeguard is in charge and has full authority to enforce all rules and to take whatever steps necessary to insure the safety of all persons on the premises.
The Lifeguard is responsible for enforcing rules for the swimming pool and the surrounding grounds. This includes the authority to expel members, guests, or children from the premises when rules are violated or when, in his/her judgment, behavior endangers others.

Gatekeepers are in place to check level of membership and are doing the job we have asked them to do. If a Gatekeeper is harassed about membership level or number of passes remaining, their first step is to call both the Pool Coordinator and the Board President. If there is a problem with something at the pool, do not take it out on the Gatekeepers, ask them to contact the Pool Coordinator or President and we will research the issue.

No profanity or disrespectful behavior permitted at the pool.
No glass containers on pool deck at any time.
When entering the pool gate, please follow sign-in procedures with the Gatekeeper.
All children under the age of 3 will not be allowed in the main pool unless accompanied by an adult.
All children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by a parent or specified adult.
The baby pool is restricted to children age 4 and younger.
