Pool

· The pool area may be closed on days below 68 degrees or if it is raining. The pool closing, or delay re-opening, will be determined by the Pool Coordinator only. If anyone wants to swim under these conditions (No lightening or thunder- these conditions prohibit re-opening the pool), the lifeguard is paid to be on call and will reopen the pool on request. The lifeguard will be, as a rule of thumb, in the pool area if it is not raining. Please review the note left on the pool gate for instructions on contacting the lifeguards.

· The pool is open for swimming only when the lifeguard is on duty. The lifeguard must be obeyed at all times. The lifeguard is authorized to expel any person from the pool area for unacceptable behavior. Any person who disagrees with the lifeguard may appeal in writing to the Board of Managers.
