******************************************************************************

Some of the items below are suggestions to help keep the pool presentable

 and make it last for a long time.  Others are MANDATORY,  anyone breaking the rules are subject to having their privileges of the pool taken away by the HOA board. 

Thank you in advance for being  responsible and considerate neighbors, 

teach your children the same!
 

A diaper changer has been installed in the women’s bathroom.  

ABSOLUTELY no diapers should be changed pool side! 

Please use swim diapers in the pool for little ones. This helps contain 

any waste that may get in the pool.  Thanks for a safer swim.
 

Children 12 and under MUST BE ACCOMPANIED by someone older than 18.  

A 14 year CANNOT be responsible for someone younger!  

Think of the burden on this child if something were to happen.
 

The pool hours are for the respect of the homes surrounding the pool.  

These people have to work and don’t need added noises at bedtime!  

The pool closes at 9:00 Sunday-Thursday.  

It remains open until 10:00 on Friday and Saturday night.
 

This is your property, take responsibility, treat it that way. 

CLEAN UP BEHIND YOURSELF, ALWAYS!
 

Limit your guests to 4.
 

Return chairs and loungers to their proper place.
 

Lower the backs on the loungers so the wind doesn’t damage them

or blow them in the pool.
 

Please don’t use bobby pins in the pool.  If they come out and go to the bottom of the pool, 

they make a rust stain that will NOT come out.

Please stress the importance of NOT using the bathroom (either one) in the pool.  When feces are found in the pool it must be closed for a period of time in order to get the waste 

to cycle through and clean the pool.  This affects everyone.  Please be diligent in taking 

your children to the bathroom when they need to go or even making a periodic trip 

whether they think they need to go or not.  

Please see below the importance of NOT urinating in the pool too.
CDC: Urine is burning your eyes in the pool, not chlorine
(CNN)–The red and burning eyes people sometimes get after a day at the pool isn't 

entirely due to chlorine, according to the Centers for Disease and Control. 

It's actually due to the chemical mixing with urine.
