Curtis Pond Swimming Pool

Open Memorial Day, May 24, 2003

Close Labor Day September 1, 2003

Please read carefully as there are some changes for the 2003 season.

RESIDENT ID CARDS:

· An identification card policy, requiring all residents over the age of three to have a Curtis Pond Picture ID made and then shown to the lifeguard upon visits to the pool, was implemented for the 2002 season. The policy was successful overall and will continue to be implemented for the 2003 season.

· The initial cost to residents for a Picture ID card is $5.00 per person. Once a resident has purchased an ID card, yearly stickers will be mailed to those households after receipt of the homeowner’s dues.

· Homeowners are notified, (by way of monthly newsletter) of an ID making schedule which includes varying dates and times at our Clubhouse to accommodate the majority of residents.

· There will be a charge of $10.00 for replacement ID cards.

· Residents who have not paid homeowners dues are not eligible to use Curtis Pond facilities and therefore will not receive ID cards or stickers until all dues are paid in full.

· Homeowners are required to show their ID card to the lifeguard and sign in when entering the pool area. A reminder sign is posted at the gate to help homeowners remember to SHOW the lifeguard their photo ID card.

GUEST POLICY:
There is a $2.00 fee per guest, (3 years old and older), per visit. Guest passes are available in the form of a $10.00 punch card, which equates to five uses. Each family will be provided with one punch pass and 2 laminated guest cards. Homeowners may purchase additional punch passes from Herman Management Company or a Pool Committee member. All residents must sign in their guest(s) and have guest pass(es) punched by the lifeguard when entering the pool area. The lifeguard may reserve the right to limit guests if overcrowding occurs.

HEALTH, SAFETY, GENERAL:

The primary concern of the Curtis Pond Homeowners Association in regard to use of the pools is the health, safety and enjoyment of the facility by its members. A lifeguard will be on duty and in charge of the pool area when it is open. Lifeguards have the right to refuse use of pool facility to anyone not abiding by rules. Please cooperate with the lifeguards so that all can safely enjoy the pool. The lifeguard whistle means: Stop and Listen.

· An adult must accompany children under 12 years of age, and the adult must remain with the children during the entire time they are in the pool area.

· Fecal Protection Policy - In case of an accident that would cause feces to enter the pool water, that respective pool, (wading pool and main pool have separate filter and drainage systems), will be chlorine shocked and shut down for overnight shock. This is the recommended procedure provided by The U.S. Center for Disease Control.

· Restroom/changing facilities are for our health and convenience; please USE them for changing your baby’s diapers and DO NOT USE the outdoor furniture in lieu of changing tables. Please help keep facilities clean.

HOURS OF OPERATION

· Pool hours are 10:00 am - 8:00 pm Mondays through Saturdays and 12:00 -8:00 pm Sundays. During the Mooresville Graded School Year Calendar, the pool hours will be 4:00 -7:00 pm Mondays through Fridays and the regular Saturday and Sunday hours. The pool is closed if there are no lifeguards. Please call Herman Management Company 704-664-2364 or 704-889-4439, Carolina Pool Management Company, to report absent lifeguards during pool hours.

RULES: Members should show courtesy to others while using the pool; sign in; show the lifeguard their photo ID card; obey rules and cooperate with the lifeguards.

· The pool is for the use of Curtis Pond residents and their accompanied guests only.

· Colorfast swimwear only is to be worn in pool. Cutoffs, jeans, and shorts are not permitted.

· Suntan lotion and oil should be toweled off before entering the pool. These products “gum” tile and dilute chemicals. (Besides, we have hot showers... isn’t that awesome?)

· Confine hair that is longer than shoulder length. Loose hair clogs the filter and reduces its efficiency.

· Infants & untrained children must wear a swim diaper, disposable diapers with plastic pants, or pull ups with plastic pants. If an accident occurs, our Fecal Protection Policy will be initiated.

· Diapers must be changed in the restroom at the diaper changing table.

· Persons with skin abrasions, colds, infections, inflamed eyes, or wearing bandages should not use the pool.

· No flaking or deteriorating foam toys or products in pool area. No metal toys in pool area.

· No pets are allowed in pool area, except seeing-eye dogs.

· No bicycling, skateboarding or roller blades allowed in pool area, nor may they block pool entrance.

Anyone not abiding by rules and obeying the lifeguard will be verbally warned. If the action continues the following disciplinary action will be taken:

· First offense: Verbal warning by lifeguard, documentation of such by lifeguard.

· Second offense: Lifeguard is to inform Pool Committee of problem. Pool Committee will inform Liaison Committee of problem in a written statement including dates, times, etc signed by lifeguard. Liaison Committee will send a letter make a phone call made if the person in question is a minor.

· Third offense: Board of Directors will decide appropriate action. Anyone in violation of rules is subject to suspension of privileges. Board of Directors will review written complaints against any member for violation of rules and issue same to Herman Management Company to suspend privileges as deemed appropriate by Board majority vote. Suspension of privileges due to a violation of rules does not entitle a member to a refund or any portion of their membership fee.
