2016 Pool Season Approaches

The 2016 Pool season will begin with the Pool opening on Friday, May 27th, from 3PM to 9PM. Saturday and Sunday will be the posted schedule. We will be open on Monday, May 30th, from 11 AM to 9 PM.

After that, the posted Pool schedule will go into effect (see Pool Schedule/Rules above).

Anyone with a red pool pass needs to come to the Office and exchange it for a Blue pool pass.  Anyone with the red pool pass (from last year) will not be admitted. If you do not have a Pool Pass, please get one from the Office.

We will not have a repeat of last year where people treated it like a public pool. The Pool is for the exclusive use of homeowners and their guests ONLY.

Pool Rules Reminder

We have received reports that some teenage kids were trying to climb the pool fence in the past few days. We need to remind everyone that if you climb the fence while the pool is closed, you can be banned for the year or permanently, at our discretion.

We were also told these same kids were throwing rocks into the pool, which we did verify when we pulled several rocks out of the pool. This will also get you banned for the year. We are working to identify these kids.

Getting the Pool Ready for 2016 Season

Here’s our crew power washing and vacuuming the pool to get it ready for residents. The pool was covered for many months while the fruitless Mulberry trees put forth their caterpillar like seeds.

We will open the Pool on Memorial Day weekend, Saturday, May 28th. See the Pool Schedule posted on the site for more information.  We have new pool passes for 2016 so please stop by the Office to get the new pool passes.

Pool Maintenance

In case some were wondering why we drained the pool, we had an algae problem that required us to pressure wash the sides and bottom of the pool.  It is almost refilled as of this afternoon.  We will likely be covering it next week to keep the leaves out; they tend to plug up the skimmers.

The Pool Is Closed

The Pool was closed today at around 3PM. This was prompted by someone’s child defecating in the pool. We cannot allow anyone to swim following this event.  The Pool will remain closed until next season.

 

 

Sunday’s Pool Opening Issues

We would like to apologize for the Pool not opening on schedule at 12 Noon. The monitor scheduled to open was originally going to be late, but ended up as a no-show.  We found out about it around 3:30PM.  One of the maintenance guys was scheduled to relieve the pool monitor at 4PM, and the pool was opened then. But, due to the confusion, there were very few people going to the pool that afternoon. So, we eventually closed the pool about 7PM.

We have had nothing but trouble trying to find reliable Pool monitors. In the 2015 Pool season,we have had 6 or 7 monitors primarily due to almost all of them not being very interested in working.  For the life of me, I cannot figure out why because this is probably one of the easiest jobs around and paid above minimum wage. All one had to do was check to make sure the people were residents or guests and get a suntan. On occasion, they had to enforce the rules.

We also had a BIG problem early in the season with large numbers of individuals using the pool who were not residents or guests and who refused to listen to the monitors. They just happened to show up in large numbers and in a few instances, we had to call the Police to get them out. I imagine this put an excessive strain on the monitors and may have influenced the lack of interest. This problem was solved by reinstating the Pool Passes and we have not had this problem since.
