The following rules and regulations have been established by the Board of Directors for the protection and benefit of all members and their guests and to assure safe and sanitary operation of the Club facilities. Parents are requested to caution their children to observe all rules and to obey instructions of the Club Manager and authorized employees. The Club Manager has full responsibility for conduct and discipline at the pool and other authorized Club employees, whose instructions must be followed, or disciplinary action in the form of suspension of Club privileges will result. The Staff has been instructed to anticipate rather than remedy. With full cooperation of the membership, we will be safe and well, enjoy ourselves and rarely hear a whistle.
Guest Policy Our Guest Policy can be viewed here.
Pool The pool will be open seven days a week from Memorial Day through Labor Day, weather permitting. The closing date may be extended by the Board of Directors in the event of favorable weather conditions if, in their opinion, this extension is feasible.
Prior to or after normal operating hours, an area of the pool may be reserved by the Club Manager for group or individual instruction.
The Social-Recreation Representative may designate periods for special events. Adequate notification will be posted.
The Club Manager may restrict swimming or prohibit swimming for periods of maintenance, inclement weather (e.g. lightning in the area) or health conditions. These periods shall be limited as much as possible, with swimming restored at the earliest safe time. Temperature conditions are not generally cause to restrict swimming between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The manager on duty shall monitor the water temperature and initiate heating procedures whenever necessary to keep the pool at an acceptable swimming temperature throughout the summer.
There will be absolutely no swimming permitted unless a Club lifeguard is on duty.
Pool Discipline The lifeguard or manager on duty is the authority on matters of discipline at the front desk and the pool. His or her instructions must be followed, or disciplinary action in the form of suspension of swimming privileges will result.
The lifeguards are instructed to report all serious infractions or refusal to follow instructions to the Club Manager.
All complaints of members are to be directed to the Club Manager and not to the lifeguards.
The Board of Directors or Club Manager may discipline without regard to the three-offense policy particularly in matters of safety, disregarding authority, disturbing other members, and illegal actions such as vandalism, theft, and underage drinking. All decisions of the Board of Directors are final.
