Things You Should Know

After considering and incorporating input received at their January meeting, the Board has approved the following Pool Rules as a part of the Pool Policy:

Rules:

1.      “Children” are defined as anyone 4 through 18 years of age.

2.      “Adults” are defined as anyone 19 years of age or older. 

3.      “Children’s Pool Hours” are as follows:

4.      An adult must accompany all invited guests under the age of 16.

5.      Children must be at least 40" tall in order to use any of the pools.  Children who are over the age of 4 years and less than 40" tall may use any of the pools by presenting a document showing proof of age.  Children who are not potty trained cannot use any of the pools.

6.      Invited guests who are not accompanied by their resident host must enter the Barataria and Hidden Cypress pool areas through the fitness centers.  All unaccompanied invited guests must have and be prepared to show a Guest Pass issued under the SCHH Guest Pass Policy.

7.       Residents must display their Activity Card and invited guests must have available and display their Guest Pass upon request by a Pool Monitor, Staff Member or Security Officer.

8.      Residents may not, under any circumstances, allow anyone else to use their Activity Card to gain access to the pools.  Any resident allowing misuse of an Activity Card could be subject to suspension of their Activity privileges.

Procedures:

1.      Residents and invited guests accompanied by residents may enter pool areas by swiping the resident’s Activity Card at any of the appropriately equipped outdoor gates.

2.      Residents and invited guests must use the indoor or poolside restrooms at the Barataria Pool.  Return from the poolside restrooms by unaccompanied invited guests must be through the fitness center.  At the Hidden Cypress pool, residents and invited guests must use the poolside restrooms or the restrooms located in the fitness center.  At the Riverbend Pool, residents and invited guests must use the poolside restrooms. 

3.      Bathing attire is not allowed inside the Riverbend Lodge, the Restaurants or Pro- Shop areas at the Hidden Cypress facility or any other community buildings.

4.      Consumption of food is restricted to specific designated sections of the pool deck.  Drinks are allowed, but only in non-glass containers.

5.      Problems at any of the pools are to be reported to the Pool Monitor, if available, or directly to Security at 705-4035.

The entire Board Policy and all Pool Rules can be viewed on the cable channels, and will be included in the SunSations that will be distributed the last week of February.  Now that the Board has approved both the Policy and the Rules, enforcement will begin in earnest in an effort to reduce and eventually eliminate abuse of the rules and unauthorized use of your facilities.
