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.

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. I don't know about you, but I do not want to lose swimming privileges until the pool board is able to demonstrate to the Dept. of Health that the membership understands and is willing to follow this rule.

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