Pool Rules
The pool is community property and every homeowner has a vested interest in keeping the pool and
clubhouse area in nice shape. Please help us "monitor" the pool and our rules to maintain the standards we
all desire.
1. Pool hours are 8AM to 11PM – no children under 21 years old after 9PM unless accompanied by an adult.
2. No lifeguard is present – swim at your own risk.
3. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
4. Residents MUST be present at the pool with their guests.
5. Residents are RESPONSIBLE for their guests. The vast majority of our issues at the pool are related to non-resident guests or children. Please ensure these rules are shared with your guests and children with special emphasis on teenagers.
6. No food or glass containers allowed at the pool.
7. Be mindful that this is a community pool with young children present – "APPROPRIATE" behavior and language is expected.
8. No more than 5 guests per homeowner unless communicated in advance – this is primarily intended to prevent large groups of teenagers taking over the pool. Please contact Christy Drake with additional guest considerations.
9. Please clean up after yourself
a. If you move chairs or lounges around, put them back where you found them.
b. If you open an umbrella, close it.
c. If you use the pool toys, put them back when you are done.
10. Pool toys, floats, noodles are provided for all to enjoy – please use them as intended
a. Noodles are not weapons and pool floats are not jumping plaTorms – if you see them used as such, please discourage such behavior
11. NO SMOKING at the pool or clubhouse area – this includes the electronic vap's or E-CIGS
12. Keycard access is required to access the pool and tennis courts. No jumping the fence to gain access, this causes damage to the fence that is costly to repair. Anyone caught jumping the fence will be charged the repair costs and will lose pool privileges.
13. Additional Pool Rules are posted on the clubhouse wall
14. We reserve the right to revoke Pool privileges for any homeowner not following these rules. Our goal is to never find ourselves in a position where revoking access becomes a necessity.
