SPRING MILLS SWIMMING POOL RULES AND REGULATIONS

These rules are meant as guidelines for members and their guests. We do not want a highly regimented pool with heavy policing; instead, we want an active community center that is fun for all. The purpose of these rules is to enhance the enjoyment of all, and we hope that they will be self-enforcing by all members. Members will be responsible and liable for their children's' and guests' actions and we hope that there will be a cooperative spirit to make the pool a fun place.

The Board and the Pool Committee are working together to manage this first year of ownership by the Homeowner's Association as productively and smoothly as possible. We are aware that certain problems and issues may need to be resolved during this first season. Please be reminded that everyone is a member and to obtain your membership card, your paid homeowners' fees are necessary. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
