All guests must be accompanied by a Club member. Any person wearing a swimsuit must be registered regardless of whether they actually swim or not. Inasmuch as there is always a possibility of a chlorination system failure, it is necessary for the Club to have an exact list of swimmers for each day in order that they may be contacted quickly in the event of such a breakdown.

GUEST PRIVILEGES FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS WILL BE LIMITED TO TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY (EXCLUDING HOLIDAYS)

3.  OUT OF TOWN GUESTS are welcome at all times. The lifeguards have been instructed to contact any person with whom they are not familiar to ask if he (or she) is a Club member and to obtain his (or her) name and Club number or ask if he (or she) is a registered guest.  This is part of the guards’ duty and Club members are asked to understand the guards cannot recognize all members. You may have guests to sit by the pool any day, BUT THEY CANNOT BE IN SWIMSUITS. You will be subject to a $5.00 fee for any infraction of the guest rule. GUEST FEES: Adult-$2.00; Children (17 years and under)- $1.00.
