General Swimming Pool Policies
Swimming is permitted only during designated hours
- Swim at your own risk. There are no lifeguards on duty at any time at the pool facilities.
- Pool Monitors or the Amenity Center Manager are in control of the operation of the pool area and will determine whether swimming is permitted or not during normally designated hours. If heavy rain, thunder, and/or lightning occur, everyone will be required to exit the pool and pool areas. At the first sound of thunder and/or the first sighting of lightning, a waiting period of 30 minutes will be established before anyone may return to the pool area. Subsequent thunder and/or lightning will restart the 30-minute clock each time it occurs. The Pool Monitor or Facility Manager will determine when the pool area is safe for people to return. Anyone not leaving the pool area as requested by the Pool Monitor or Amenity Center Manager risks suspension of their amenity privileges.
- Children 13 years of age and younger must be accompanied by an adult or a supervisor/babysitter at least 18 years of age at all times while using the pool facilities. Children 14 years of age or older should be prepared to provide proof of age when visiting the pool unaccompanied by an adult.
