“Safety
first” is a phrase we've all been hearing for as long as we can remember. Pool
safety, more specifically, is always a hot topic during the summer months. With
summer fast approaching, it’s easy to be excited for our pool to re-open this
Memorial Day weekend-especially after this year’s brutal winter! In the midst
of all this excitement, however, it’s always important to remember our pool
rules and safety tips before you dive in.
Between
the operating hours of 10am and 8pm, all freshly showered residents may enter (with
pool pass in hand of course!) and enjoy what our facility has to offer. No one should
swim alone, and persons sixteen years of age and younger are required to have a
guardian present while swimming.
Those
age sixteen and younger must also take a swim test. Upon passing, they will be
permitted to utilize the entire pool area. Those who don’t pass will be required
to have a guardian in the pool, within an arm’s length while swimming. Guardians
should use their discretion while supervising and ensure a safe water depth.
Likewise, non-proficient swimmers should use their discretion, and remain
within a shallow area of the pool.
Proper
swimwear is another necessity. We ask that swimmers dress appropriately, and
that they don’t dress in the recreation room or in the clubhouse. To ensure the
safety of all pool guests, the top things to avoid in the pool area include:
horseplay, running, and any games that may put any person in danger. Along the
same lines, alcohol, smoking, and glass containers are prohibited in the pool
area. Should you be ill, we ask that you refrain from using the pool, to avoid
contamination. The pool will be closed upon sight of thunder, lightning,
rainfall, or some other unforeseen malfunction. Who wants to swim in a
thunderstorm anyway?
While
many of these rules and tips may seem obvious or implied, we believe it’s
important to keep all residents informed in order to ensure a safe and
welcoming environment. It’s our job to make you as comfortable and pleased as
possible with our facility. Enjoy!
