Safety and Respect

Remember to follow pool rules.  Stay safe and respect the rights of others using the pool. The lifeguards or pool board members have full authority to eject any person from the pool area for rule violation and said person will be reported to the pool board to determine the disposition of that person's privileges. Any member who witnesses rule violations should remind the person in violation of the policy. If the violator does not comply, the incident should be reported to a lifeguard or a board member as soon as possible.

THESE RULES HAVE BEEN CREATED IN THE INTEREST OF EVERYONE'S SAFETY AND COMFORT AND ARE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CLARKE COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH RULES AND REGULATIONS (2001). PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DISCUSS ANY CONCERNS YOU MAY HAVE WITH ANY POOL BOARD MEMBER. WE ARE HERE TO PROMOTE THE USE, SAFETY AND ENJOYMENT FOR OUR POOL MEMBERS.
