Everyone must sign in! When signing in you are attesting to your knowledge of the pool rules and the intent to comply. Signing in includes names of all family members, lot number, phone number, time entering and leaving the pool. This provides important information that allows us to track usage, schedule staff, and track in the event of a health issue.

OBEY THE LIFEGUARD! Lifeguards are on duty to ensure a safe environment. Any issues with pool personnel should be directed to Ron Krasek, Pool Chairman , Martha Kemsley, Amy Schaul or any Board of Directors member.

Sadly, we have to cancel this walk today. Our expert, Scott Lembitz, has a sick child at home with a high fever. Please do get outside and enjoy our beautiful neighborhood anyway!
