In addition to the pool rules, the following rules of conduct and courtesy will apply to the Club grounds beyond the swimming pool area.<\/p>\n

It is important that you be especially sensitive in respecting the rights and property of others in our community. Parents are requested to inform their children to observe the regulations and to obey the instruction of the Pool Manager and other employees. Failure to comply with the regulations will be considered sufficient cause for immediate suspension of pool privileges for the offending member and can result in cancellation of membership.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n
