Pool Information

OUR POOL is open and heated with lifeguards in attendance from May through September each year. There is a large wading pool for our little ones and beginning swimmers to get comfortable with the water. A nice relaxing dip in the pool and the deck with its relaxing chairs are a great way to unwind after work or to enjoy the warm summer days with your family and friends. The area boasts an expansive deck area with comfortable chairs, lounges, tables with umbrellas and clean rest rooms. There is also a ping pong table and bike racks inside the facility fence, and charcoal barbecues in the lawn area.

POOL RULES AND REGULATIONS Please take a minute and download a copy of the Pool Rules for you and your family. The rules are intended to make everyone's experience at the pool fun and safe. Please remember our lifeguards are doing their best to help keep us and our children safe while at the Pool. If you see someone breaking the rules, or acting improperly please take a minute and point it out to the Lifeguards. Failure to abide by pool area rules will result in the member(s) being asked to leave the pool area and/or possible loss of pool use privileges. The decision of the lifeguard and/or pool manager will be final.

POOL NEWS

The Board is embarking on a pool facility restoration project. For Phase 1, we have hired the firm, Aquatic Design Group, to complete a Needs Assessment Study which will provide the Association with the items we must attend to to be in compliance with local health and safety codes and options for some improvements to our facility to consider. Stay tuned for news and information on the project developments as the Board wants to ensure that this is an inclusive project.

In the meantime, a group of neighbors got together recently to clean up and restore the bathrooms. When the work is completed, the stalls and interior will be freshly painted and the rooms will have improved lighting. We offer the volunteers our thanks and gratitude.

To gain a better understanding of how our community uses the pool and the interests in any improvements, a survey was distributed to association members in Q110. We receive 174 responses, which is likely to represent the vast majority of pool users. You can see the results at Pool Survey Results.

FEEDBACK: Please contact the Pool Committee Directors if you have complaints or appreciations you would like acknowledged by the Board.
