Pool Rules and Guidelines
General Safety

Guests
Guest must be accompanied by pool member and registered at the front gate by an attendant. The registering member must remain at the pool to be able to supervise and be accountable for their guests’ actions. This includes when we are not staffed and key access is used. Cameras are working 24 hours a day.

- Only proper swimwear allowed—no street clothes, inappropriate suits (e.g., thong-style), or underwear (even under swimsuits).
Children & Non-Swimmers
- Non-swimming children who can’t stand in the pool must be accompanied by an adult—flotation devices don’t replace supervision.
- Wading Pool: For children under 5 only. Quiet, passive play only.

- All children must wear swimsuits.
- Non-potty-trained toddlers must wear approved swim diapers—no paper or cloth diapers.
