Rules Update for 2021: Here is a quick guide to updates to rules:

• There will no longer be an age limit for children to enter either pool. The rule now states that any child that is wearing a diaper may not enter the main pool. There will be up to a $2,000.00 fine for any accident that results in a pool closure. • The lightning policy has changed slightly to be more clear: In the event of lightning or thunder, the pool shall be immediately cleared and not reopened until authorized by the Aquatic staff. • Aquatic staff will clear the pool at the first sound of thunder and/or sounding of the siren for 30 minutes. Each occurrence, thereafter, will restart the 30 minutes. • Upon the sight of lightning, the pool deck will be cleared immediately of all staff and members. Members and staff may not return to the pool deck until the siren signals “All Clear.” If thunder is heard prior to or following the “All Clear” signal, the Aquatic staff will observe the 30-minute time period for each thunder that is heard.

Additional Unchanged Important Pool Rules: • Only Coast Guard approved personal flotation devices will be allowed in the pool. NO inflatable floating devices will be permitted. Anything that requires air will not be permitted. • Swim diapers must be reusable, not disposable. • Food must be consumed at least 5 feet away from the pools. • Members’ grandchildren age 13 years and under will be permitted to use the Aquatic Center at no charge if accompanied by the member. Guest fees will apply to members bringing grandchildren age 14 and over. • Swimming attire must be in keeping with the family concept of this Club. Female bathing suit bottoms must be full coverage; no thongs or cheeky bottoms are allowed.
