Dear Members,
The pool opens this weekend!
We’re open Saturday and Sunday and then open fully for the season the afternoon of May 24
(Pool Hours) Lifeguards
Dynamo Pool Management is taking care of our pool this summer. Our head guard is Trent Savage. He has years of experience as a guard and supervisor and will be onsite, serving as a guard at our pool 5 or 6 days a week.
Furniture
New tables and chairs are on the way! If they haven’t arrived by Saturday, they’ll be there by Memorial Day Weekend. Also, you’ll notice new hooks along the fence edge on the parking lot side. You now can hang pool bags and towels without worrying about them getting wet or taking up valuable chair space!
Pool Rules
The lifeguards will be enforcing all pool rules and will require children who violate the rules to sit out. Please remind your children to be respectful of the lifeguards and to follow their instructions.
***We no longer require plastic pants in addition to a swim diaper. However, we do highly recommend a reusable swim diaper, particularly those available at mypoolpal.com (http://www.mypoolpal.com/store/Reusable-Swim-Diaper---White-(Infant---Toddler)/50). These are more effective than the pampers/huggies disposable type and, as an added benefit, will likely save you quite a bit of money over the course of the summer. ***
1. In an effort to ensure member-only use of the pool, sign-in for families is located at the main gate. Please sign in daily. On the sign-in sheet, indicate the number of guests. Guest fees will be billed to the member family periodically. Guest fees are $2.00/day per authorized guest. Authorized guests are out-of-neighborhood residents and in-neighborhood residents who are on the membership waiting list. An adult Mill Glen member must accompany all guests.
2. Only children 10 years and older may attend the club unsupervised. Under age children must be accompanied and supervised by a person at least 15 years of age. Tennis players may not leave under age children unsupervised.
3. Swim diapers are MANDATORY for all non potty-trained children entering the main pool or wading pool. All members must help enforce this rule. If you see a violation, please report it to the lifeguard. In the event of an accident, the pool must close for 24 hours!!
4. Adult swim is for ADULTS ONLY. An adult is defined as 18 years old or over. Children, including infants, may not accompany parents or other adults in the water during adult swim.
5. No glass containers are permitted inside the pool gates.
6. No inflatable boats may be used in the pool. Other floats may be used at the discretion of the lifeguards.
7. Running or rough play is not allowed and will result in disciplinary action.
8. No playing with tennis balls in the pool, pool area, or pavilion.
9. No pets are allowed in pool area.
10. WADING POOL - Only children 4 years old and younger may use the wading pool. The lifeguards do NOT SUPERVISE the wading pool; therefore, it is each parent’s responsibility to watch their children in the wading pool. The wading pool may not be used during swim or dive practice.
11. No smoking inside the pool fence.
12. The pool rules will be enforced by the lifeguards. For members who violate the pool rules the following will be the enforcement process:
- First offense will result in a warning.
- The second offense will result in a suspension of the use of the pool until after the next adult swim (out of the pool, seated next to the lifeguard).
- The third offense will result in a 24 hour suspension from the pool. Any child asked to leave the pool more than twice in a season will not be allowed to return to the pool unless accompanied by a parent. Additional disciplinary action will be at the discretion of the Board.
As always, if you have any questions/problems/concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re looking forward to a wonderful summer at the pool!
