Pool Rules and Rental information

A)            Purpose:  These pool rules will be enforced by the members of the HOA Board of Directors and the Lifeguards.  These rules are intended to enhance the safety and enjoyment of the pool by all Fenwick residents.  A number of these rules are required by the State Health Department.  For the benefit of all those who use the pool, all residents and guests are expected to comply with all of the rules.

B)            Good Standing Required:  No residents may use the Fenwick pool unless they are in good standing with all dues and/or fines paid in full.

C)            Pool Days and Hours:  The Fenwick Board shall set the pool days and hours for the summer season when contracting with a pool management company.

D)            Private Parties:  Residents can make arrangements to use the pool area for a private party, outside of the pool’s regular hours set by the Board.  The cost for renting the pool shall be set for the swimming season by the Fenwick Board prior to the opening of the pool (the current rate is $50.00 per use).  It is the responsibility of any resident renting the pool to make arrangements to have the appropriate number of lifeguards on duty for the period of time that they use the pool area.  Renter is personally responsible to make such arrangements and pay the lifeguards for their services.  The cost of the lifeguards is the responsibility of the resident renting the pool and is not included in the rental fee.  Renter must provide proof to the pool/clubhouse manager that such arrangements have been made before pool rental is complete (the Board may require that a renter use the pool management company’s lifeguards; see clubhouse/pool rental contract online for more details.)

E)            Residents’ Identification:  Residents who are in good standing shall be required to register on their first visit to the pool each year.  Proof of Fenwick residency shall be established when the homeowner produces utility bills or drivers’ license with a matching Fenwick address when they register.  Follow-on visits to the pool will be verified by an identification system established and provided by the Board prior to each swim season (this could be in the form of ID cards, bracelets, pool log and attendant check, or other pre-established process).  Individuals who do not have appropriate identification, according to the program in place, may be asked to leave the pool until and unless appropriate Fenwick residency is established and follow-on perpetual identification is adhered to by the resident.

F)            Children:  Children under 12 must be accompanied by their parent or another individual at least 14 years of age.

G)            Guests:  Each household may be limited to two guests.  Fenwick residents must accompany their guest at the pool at all times.

H)            Posted Rules:  All rules of conduct are posted at the pool.  It is the duty of the lifeguards to enforce these rules and the lifeguards must be obeyed at all times.

I)            Emergencies:  The lifeguards will clear the pool anytime severe weather and/or lightning is a threat, and in the case of some other health or safety emergency.  The lifeguards will re-open the pool when they determine it is safe.  The decision to close or reopen the pool is at the sole discretion of the lifeguard in charge.

J)            Breaks:  The lifeguards will take a 15 minute break every hour.  During the break, no one under the age of 18 may enter the water with or without an adult.  Those 18 and over may swim at their own risk during the break.

K)            Loss of Pool Privileges:  Lifeguards may recommend to the Fenwick Board that pool privileges be revoked for certain individuals for a period of time, including to the end of the season.  Lifeguards have full authority to ask anyone to leave the pool area as a result of improper behavior.  Anyone vandalizing the pool area will be held accountable for all damages.
