Safeguards

Pool Closure Due To Incident:

The pool will be closed if any incident results in contamination such as vomiting, bleeding, human waste or any potentially toxic substance. Please respect your neighbors by preventing sick or injured bathers from using the pool.

Pool Closure Due To Lightning:

The pool will be closed if there is any potential threat from lightning strikes.

Buddy Check:

The Guards will occasionally be calling for a "Buddy Check" which requires that every person under the age of 13 physically be next to their responsible adult to verify supervision. No one under 13 is allowed in the pool area without direct supervision. Any child between the ages of 13 and 18 are limited to no more than 3 others that they are responsible for. We have had an on-going problem of kids 8-12 being at the pool without any adult supervision and with 14 year old saying they're responsible for 6, 8, 10 other kids while they don't even know where those kids are or even still in the area. We ask all adults to ensure that all children are safe.

Monitor the Bathrooms:

We have experienced damage to the pool bathrooms. We also have groups of children running the showers (which costs you directly) for lengthy periods of time using them as an extended "warm me up" vehicle which is leaving the floors REALLY wet and we've already had several slips and falls. Please help out and check the bathrooms and escort your children.
