SWIMMING RULES

Generally, the Swimming and Fitness Committee will have an advisory capacity on the swimming program and will, in collaboration with the Pool Manager, have cognizance over pool maintenance and swimming activities. The Pool Manager will oversee the safety and the maintenance of the pool area and its equipment, the employment and supervision of pool personnel and such other matters as relate to pool and swimming activities. The Pool Manager, Lifeguards, and Swimming Professionals have at all times authority to enforce rules, preserve order and deal with matters under their purview.  Anyone asked to depart the pool area by one of them must do so immediately.
                                          
A. Pool Usage: Swimming Pool privileges are limited to Active category members only.  Social members may use the swimming pool one time per month. Senior Social members without any dependents may purchase a pool pass for the season. The Pool Pass and the fees for the Pool Pass are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and are subject to change.
 
B.  Babysitter Policy: A non-member baby sitter is not subject to a guest fee if the babysitter is registered.  Members must apply for a babysitter pass in person at the pool hut. Babysitters must be 16 years or older. In no event may the babysitter enter the pool area independent of the membership.  Babysitters must pay attention to the kids he/she is watching in the fashion a parent would.  Use of the babysitter pass may be subject to review by the Swim/Fitness Committee.
 
C.  Adult Swim: Children under the age of 18 must be out of the water, away from the pool edge and off the pool deck during an adult swim.  
 
D. Lap Swim: Lap swimming is available throughout the day, please see a guard.   Exceptions may be made on holidays, during high volume scenarios, and during Club Events.
 
E. Baby Pool Age: The baby pool is intended for the use of children five (5) years of age and under.  All children who are not toilet trained, must wear swim diapers while in the baby pool. Children must not be left unattended at any time. Members are asked to use good judgement when using the baby pool.
                            
F. Large Pool Age: All children under the age of four (4) and all children who are not fully toilet trained (who require the use of a swim diaper) may not enter the large pool under any circumstances.
 
G. Deep Water Test: Children under the age of 12 must pass the “deep water test” given by a Club Lifeguard to enter the deep end of the pool. Adults are not allowed to catch children off the diving board, or swim with children in the deep end without the child passing the deep water test
 
H.  Behavior/Conduct: Only Lifeguard approved water toys are permitted in the pool or deck area.  If the rules are not followed the life guard has the right to ask the offender to sit out of the pool, until the end of the next adult swim.
