POOL IS OPEN 10:00am to 10:00pm DAILY
General Rules
Showering Before Swimming
Ever wonder why all pools ask that you shower before you swim? The main reason is to remove bacteria and other "contaminates" such as lotions, hair spray, deodorants and the other products which will end up in the water effecting the water quality and chemistry. Chlorine odor or the smell of chlorine is from the reaction of the chlorine to organic matter such as germs, bacteria and even dead skin. If you shower BEFORE swimming you will have less chlorine odor afterwards. Please shower before using the pool.

Young children and swimming
- Children under 5 are generally advised to not use hot tubs. For more information on swimming and hot use for children, please read this from the Mayo Clinic.
Swim Diapers
- Toddlers 3 and under AND anyone not potty trained MUST wear swim diapers! No exceptions! Violators will have their clubhouse pass removed. Please read Diarrhea and swimming below.
Sick or Open Sores
- Those with open sores which have not healed over should not use pool or spa.
- Please don't enter water if you are sick or have diarrhea. Please report any fecal or diarrhea accidents to pool manager so proper steps can be taken to remedy the problem. This process can take up to 24 hours to make the water safe again to swim in.
Keep Pool Room Doors Closed
- Please keep pool room doors closed at all times. Never block them open for any reason. This is to help maintain the environmental conditions of the pool room and the rest of the clubhouse.
- Also be sure to close all doors behind you when you leave. Occasionally children have been known to sneak into the clubhouse through an unlatched door. It takes only a short time for a tragedy to happen.
Supervision
- All swimmers under the age of 18 need a parent or guardian with them to use the clubhouse and pool. The parent or guardian must be in pool room at all times while their swimmers are in the water.
Food and Drink
- Food and drink are prohibited in pool room. Glass containers are also a huge no no. Can you imagine how hard it would be to find all the splinters of a broken glass in the pool? You would be right if you guessed next to impossible.
Play Toys
- Foot balls, basket balls and other hard balls are banned from pool room use as there are too many windows to break. If you break one it's yours to buy and they aren't cheap. The cost to you will be several hundred of dollars. Other toys may be used within reason if they do not interfere with other pool users enjoyment.
Health Hazard Warning
- A discharge of solid or liquid fecal matter in the pool or pool spa causes a serious health risk to those using these facilities. If this occurs the maintenance staff is required to shut down the pool or spa for a period of time and perform procedures to restore water to a safe condition. If you observe this issue please contact maintenance immediately at (208) 754-6082.

Diarrhea and Swimming
- Diarrhea and swimming don’t mix! Diarrhea is the most common recreational water illness (RWI). Swimmers who are sick with diarrhea—or who have been sick in the last two weeks—risk contaminating pool water with germs. Certain germs that cause diarrhea can live from minutes to days in pools, even if the pool is well-maintained. Once the pool has been contaminated, all it takes is for someone to swallow a small amount of pool water to become infected. CDC.gov Diarrhea-and-swimming
