Last Potluck of the Season –Don’t Miss it!
The final potluck of the swim season is scheduled for Friday September 3, 2010 at 6:30 pm. A lifeguard will be on duty for those wishing to swim. Bring a main dish and a side or dessert to share. The pool board will provide plates, utensils and water to drink. We hope to see you there!

Gate Must Be Closed and Latched
Members are reminded that the pool gate must be closed and latched at all times unless you are coming in or going out. You may not prop the gate open, even if you are making several trips back and forth to your car. Do not leave the gate unlatched because you are expecting guests or other family members.

Lifeguards are enforcing this rule and you should expect to be reminded of it if you fail to comply.

We must be proactive to prevent drowning, and we are legally compelled to do so by keeping the gate closed. Propping the gate or leaving it unlatched is a violation of federal regulations and one of the other neighborhood pools in Richland was closed down temporarily for this very issue.

The federal code is designed to keep all of us safe. Let's follow this regulation and keep the pool open for everyone to enjoy.
