SWIMMING POOL COMMUNITY STANDARDS

Safety

Safety is always the primary concern of the Swimming Pool Staff. To insure everyone’s safety, activities judged unsafe by the lifeguards will not be permitted. Repeated misconduct may result in the individual or group being dismissed from the Pool area for the comfort and safety of other members.

Children under ten (10) years of age must be constantly supervised by a responsible Club member or a Club member’s child who is sixteen (16) years of age or older. Likewise, children who cannot swim and those children using the Zero Entry pool must be continually under the supervision of a responsible Club member or a Club member’s child who is sixteen (16) years of age or older. Children under the age of ten (10) may NOT be left unattended at the pool at any time.

The diving well, diving board, and double slide will be used only by those who are judged by the lifeguards as having sufficient skills to perform a safe dive or jump. Swimmers who cannot swim across the deep end are not allowed to use the diving board, double slide, or swim in the deep end. Activities judged unsafe in the area of the diving board will not be permitted. No swim wings are permitted in the deep end of the pool or on the slide.

Children who are not competent swimmers, or who are less than 48” tall must undergo a swim proficiency test administered by the lifeguards. The child will be awarded a wrist band upon passing the test. The wrist band must be worn at all times while in the pool.

Guests

Any person entering the pool facility who is not a member is considered to be a guest and must be accompanied by a member. Members are limited to one Guest per family member at the pool.

All guests of a Club member are permitted and all must register at the front gate before entering the Pool area. Individual Guests are limited to a maximum of five visits to the pool per year.

Additional lifeguards may be required at the expense of the host. The host member will be responsible for seeing that all guests leave the Pool when the party is ended.
