Very Important Pool Notes


Hi Members,

The pool is awesome and fun and we want you to always have a GREAT time at our club. Please just keep in mind the following rules, etc...
  • The baby pool is for children 4 and under and they must be accompanied by a parent or guardian inside the baby gate. The lifeguards are not responsible for watching the baby pool.
  • Adult swim is the last 15 minutes of every hour. Please make sure your children know this rule and exist the pool quickly. The children and the lifeguards need the full 15 minute break, for safety reasons.
  • There is a first aid kit in the guard room, with bandaids, etc. If you need guard assistance, the pool must be cleared (which is no problem, and should always be done in an emergency).
  • There is land phone line by the kitchen window, for quickly calling 911 (it routes directly to Chamblee; cell phones often go to DeKalb, which is known to put people on hold).
  • Parents are responsible for watching their own children. Lifeguards are a secondary level of protection from drowning. If you believe the lifeguards are not not watching the pool as they should and/or behaving inappropriately, please quickly report all problems to our President, Ryan Tracy (ryan-tracy@comcast.net).
  • Children 10 and over may come to the pool by themselves, provided they pass a swim test (swimming the length of the pool). Coming alone is a privilege, not a right, and will be revoked if there are problems.
  • Don't forget sunscreen! We try to always have backup sunscreen in the guard room, but no guarantees. 
  • Children not FULLY potty trained need to always be wearing swim diapers. And please do not bring sick children to the pool. Thanks!
  • If you find the bathrooms are needing supplies, please report it to the lifeguard. 
  • The kitchen is available at all times for adult members; please label your food/drinks and help us keep the kitchen clean. Thanks!
  • The Clubhouse should remain closed, unless rented for a private party.
  • Smoking is not allowed in or around the pool; there is a smoking area behind the clubhouse.
  • Members are allowed to bring alcohol - please just do not bring any glass containers. If it breaks and gets in the pool, we have to drain the pool. And do you know what it costs to refill the pool? We do! And you will, too - when we give you the bill :) 
  • Guest fees are on the honor system, although Board members and lifeguards will randomly check the sign-in sheets and ask for pool tags. Please respect our guest fee policy. 
Whew! That's a lot of rules, etc! But wait...we have more. Click here to read all of our pool rules. 

So all of that said - we hope you have a terrific (and safe) summer at our pool!!
