Pool Rules
- Shower before entering the pool - Help keep the pool water clean by showering before entering the pool. Oils and sweat put more strain on the filtration system. By showering before entering the pool you are helping to keep chlorine levels in the pool low.
- Respect the direction of the Lifeguards - Our Lifeguards provide a safe environment for you to enjoy. By distracting the Lifeguards or failing to obey direction, you are placing yourself and others at risk. Patrons behaving inappropriately, or placing others at risk will be asked to leave the facility.
- No running on the pool deck - The tiles surrounding the pools become slippery when wet. Keep a moderate pace to avoid falling.
- No outside shoes on the pool deck - To keep the pool areas free of outside dirt we ask that no outside shoes be worn around the pool area.
- No photographs or video taping - Photographic or video devices are not permitted near the pool area for the privacy and protection of patrons and minors.
