POOL RULES (where applicable)

POOLS AND SPAS (where applicable)

Pools:

1. Scheduled organized pool activities (e.g., aqua aerobics classes, lessons, etc.) have priority over open/family swim use. Please consult specific club’s weekly schedule and support your fellow members’ enjoyment of the pool. 
2. Please shower before entering. 
3. Proper swimwear required in all bodies of water, (see dress code).
4. No food or drink allowed in the bodies of water. No glass containers. 
5. Loud or offensive language is prohibited.

10. Kickboards, pool toys or other flotation/swim instruction aides are not allowed (except life vests), except in ISF classes or in lap lanes while swimming laps. 
11. Children under 14 years of age must be under supervision by a parent or legal guardian at all times. Limit three children under 14 per adult. Children unable to swim safely must be accompanied in the water by a parent or legal guardian providing immediate supervision regardless of the presence of a lifeguard.

Lap Swim: 

1. Reservations may be required for lap swimming. Lap swimming etiquette ensures a safe and congenial environment for all swimmers: Lap swimmers must share their lane when reserved. 
2. When there are two swimmers in a lane, it is proper procedure to split the lane. Splitting the lane requires that one swimmer stay on the left side of the lane while the other swimmer stays on the right side of the lane, allowing both swimmers to swim up-and-back. Always notify the current swimmer in the lane before entering and split the lane with him/her. 
3. Circle swimming is mandatory when all lap lanes are split and a third swimmer enters (or more if the number of swimmers wishing to swim exceeds three per lane). Circle swimming is always counter-clockwise. In circle swimming, a slower swimmer must stay to the right of the lane to allow a faster swimmer to pass by using the center of the lane.
