Guidelines for Parties during Pool Hours
- A party is loosely defined as a gathering which includes non-members and there is food, cake, or other party “gear”. General characteristics include using more than two tables, using banquet tables to set up food, rearranging seating area to accommodate guests, etc.. It does not include a group of members who pull several tables together. (Basically, you should know if you are having a party or just inviting a few friends to the pool.)
- Parties larger than 25 people (4-6 families including members) are encouraged to be held after hours. Pool members should have priority use of pool facilities.
- Parties are encouraged to be held outside of peak member hours. Suggested times are Mon-Sat (Opening to 4 pm) and Sunday (1:00 to 5:00 pm). Parties should be limited to 2 to 3 hours. At the end of the “party time”, the group will be asked to clean up the party and return the tables to the standard configuration but guests will not be asked to leave.
- No parties are allowed during special events: grill n’ chill Friday nights, swim meets, water polo meets, social functions, etc. – Please refer to the calendar on website for a listing of all such events.
- Larger parties are encouraged to register with the office. The office will attempt to coordinate so that no more than one party is occurring at any time.
- Members are asked to limit table usage to a minimum for their party size, understanding that kids will spend most of their time in the pool. 6’ folding tables are available upon request – registered parties have priority to the banquet tables over non-registered parties.
- Tables in the seating area are first come, first served but the Club Manager or head guards reserve the right to break up or downsize large parties if not registered and members can’t find tables.
- Members will clean up after the party and return the seating area to the condition it was in when the party was started.
- A member should supervise all guests. There should be an appropriate adult to child ratio based on the age of the children. This will be at the judgment of management on site.
- Reminder, the ban on glass (and ceramic) in the seating/picnic area includes all serving dishes, condiment bottles and crock pots. This is for the safety of members and guests as broken glass and bare feet do not coexist peacefully!
- Unruly or destructive guests will be asked to leave and members may be subject to sanctions as provided in the bylaws and pool rules.
As always, please feel free to reach out to the Board with any compliments, concerns or other issues that arise.
