Swimming Pool

Swimming Pool Rules and Regulations

The Pool Committee, under the direction of the Recreation Committee, is responsible for all activity at the swimming pool. Any complaints or suggestions concerning the pool should be made in writing and addressed to the Chairman of the Recreation Committee. It is not the responsibility of the Pool Director to address member issues without concurrence of the Recreation and/or Pool Committees.

General behavior and water safety rules are prescribed and enforced by the Pool Director and lifeguards. Failure to obey their instruction will result in the loss of pool privileges, at the discretion of the Pool Director and the Pool Committee.

Dress Code:

Bathing attire may only be worn in the enclosed Pool Area. Members and their guests must wear cover-ups to and from their vehicles. Denim apparel, of any color, and baggy cargo shorts are not permitted in the pool area. See the Pool Manager for any questions.

Rules Applicable to Members and Guests

  1. Children under 12 years of age, left unattended at the pool, will not be allowed to swim. Children with reported behavioral problems will be reported to the Pool Committee for disciplinary action, which may result in loss of pool privileges. The Club assumes no responsibility for children left unattended.
  2. Children under the age of 12, must pass a skill test administered if required by the pool staff. Children unable to complete the test must be actively supervised by an adult while using the racing pool.

Non-dependent children are permitted to be guests of their parents subject to all guest rules and upon payment of guest fees.
  7. Full swimming pool privileges, with no additional fees, will be extended to baby sitters, au pairs, and/or nannies who have the responsibility to care for the child or children of a member in good standing, if the arrangement between the member and the person are for a period of time in excess of one month. In these circumstances, the member is required to obtain permission for such pool use through written request to the Pool Committee.
  8. The baby pool area is intended for children under the age of 5, with the exception of adults who are aiding or supervising the children. Children under 3 years of age, or wearing diapers, are not permitted to swim in the main pool at any time. Proper swim diaper must be worn to those who are not fully toilet trained. Children in this category should use the baby pool exclusively. Please change all diapers in the ADA bathroom. No diapers should be changed on the pool deck.

All foods and beverages must be purchased at the Club; none may be brought in from the outside. No glass containers may be used in any of the pool areas. Children are not permitted to pick up their food from the snack bar unless their name is called. Please clean up your area after eating from the snack bar. Snack Bar condiments and straws are to be used for their purpose only, not for play.
  11. Adults (18 and over) have priority on use of lounge chairs. Use of lounge chairs by children is permitted when they are available, but children may be asked to make chairs available to adults requesting their use. Reserving lounge chairs for friends/family is not permitted.

Under these circumstances, however, the behavior of Club members will fall under the rules of the Club.
