Club rules

The short version, by topic

All members and guests check in and out at the gate. Guest fees are paid at check-in. Lap lane reservations are optional; tennis court reservations are required.

Shower before entering the pool. No glass anywhere on the pool apron, and no eating on the apron; keep a four-foot clearance. No wheeled toys on the apron. Anyone with a skin infection may not enter the water.

Children 10 and older may attend unaccompanied. A three-strikes rule applies to conduct.

Children under 10 must be supervised. An adult must accompany children in the small pool. If a child is using a flotation device, a parent must be in the water.

Childcare providers under 16 need manager approval; minimum age is 12. Babysitters actively providing care for a member child pay no guest fee.

To swim in 4-foot water: one length of the pool, crawl stroke. For the 4- and 5-foot areas: two lengths. For the entire pool: three lengths. Wristbands mark test levels; replacements are $2.

Reservations get priority, with a 15-minute no-show rule. Don’t cut through the lap lanes.

When thunder is heard, everyone clears the water for 20 minutes. No running or horseplay. The pool heater is kept at 78 degrees.

Diving only in the 9-foot end. No back dives.

No swimmies or inflatables. Personal noodles and kickboards are allowed at the lifeguards’ discretion.

Fifteen minutes on the hour from 12 to 4pm, for swimmers 16 and older.

Check in at the gate every visit. Pool membership covers the pool; tennis membership covers the courts. Membership covers your household only and is not transferable.

No alcohol without Board approval, no glass, no pets, no smoking, and no solicitation on the property.

No private parties on the property. The community grill has a shared-use protocol; clean up your own refuse. No personal storage in the Attendant’s House.

Registered vehicles only; bike racks are provided. The only entrance is at 14 Fairlawn Lane; please don’t cut through neighboring yards.
