Our #1 Priority

Hi All,

We hope your summer has gotten off to a great start. We've already had several fun events at our pool and have so many more fun things planned! We are super excited to share all the details, but before we do, we'd like to focus for a minute on our number one priority: safety. 

Overall, things have been running very smoothly at our pool and to help keep it that way, we'd love for all our members to take a few minutes to review our rules by clicking here. If you have children, please go over the rules with them. With your help, we can keep our current safety streak going!

Below are a few other specific items that we'd like to address...

Deep End Rules
There is no swimming permitted in the deep end unless the guard has obviously closed the diving board.  Divers shall dive straight ahead and swim to the nearest ladder and exit the pool.  Parents, adult swim would be a better time to catch your small children from the diving board. During busy kids swim times, all swimmers must abide by this rule. The rope is the dividing line between the diving and swimming areas.

Pool Phone
If it is ringing, please answer it. 99% of the time it is a parent looking for their child.

Lifeguard Interaction
Guards may be approached by members at any time for immediate health and safety (1st aid) concerns. All medical supplies are located in the guard room and the guards are trained to assist with these matters. For all other concerns, comments or questions related to lifeguards and their management of the pool, please contact Ryan Tracy at 404-642-3408 or ryan-tracy@comcast.net, or any available board member

No Glass
If glass breaks in or near the pool, we have to drain all the water and refill it; it's super expensive and we will bill the responsible party.  

Closing Procedure
The latest we stay open is 10 PM. The guards are instructed to blow the whistle and call adult swim at 9:45 PM.  Please use this last 15 minutes to gather your belongings and prepare to exit the facility no later than 10 PM.

Tennis Reservations
Our courts are very popular. Remember to utilize the on line court reservation. Most importantly, if you blocked off a time slot and know you will not be able to attend your reservation, be sure to go cancel your reservation. There are usually others who will happily fill your time slot - even at the last minute.

See you at the pool!
