2008 Pool Lifeguard Schedule

If you suspect trespassers or witness suspicious behavior on Association property, call 911!

Pool Parties are not allowed unless they are approved and scheduled by the pool committee. This reservation system eliminates the possibility of more than one party taking place at one time. (see Party Rules). Sears Pools must be notified for ensuring a lifeguard is present.  See the Request Form and for reservations call Keith Melton at 770-335-6026.

Pool Party Request Form

Pool Gate: This is an extremely serious issue and the pool gate must be kept closed at all times especially if there is no lifeguard on duty. Should the gate be found left open for any reason, we will take whatever corrective action necessary to ensure this doesn't occur again. While we're hesitant to penalize everyone for the actions of a few people, this is a liability issue that cannot be ignored.

Pool Area Cleanliness: The Pool Committee is responsible for making sure that the pool filters are functioning properly, scheduling the lifeguards and making sure that the resident have a safe place to relax. We are not a custodial staff and will not clean up after others. We live in a pool and tennis community and it is each residents responsibility as co-owners of this facility to clean up after themselves and even go the extra mile and clean up after someone else that is not as considerate. If this problem continues we will be forced to hire a cleaning service to clean up after the residents which will cost the community money that we really don't have. Your help and cooperation will be greatly appreciated.

Enjoy the pool, have fun but remember it's not only the Fairway's pool, it's your pool and you need to take care of it as if it was in your backyard.

Sincerely,

The Pool Committee

These Pool Rules are intended to ensure the safe enjoyment of the pool and its amenities by all residents. The Lifeguard staff has full authority to enforce all safety and sanitary measures deemed necessary for the proper operation of the pool.

Swim At Your Own Risk: Swimming is allowed when a lifeguard or an adult resident 18 or older is present during the hours from 7:00am to 11:00pm. During "Swim At Your Own Risk" hours, residents are strongly advised not to swim alone to avoid any possible injury.

A ten-minute lifeguard break will be held each hour on the hour. No one is allowed in the pool at this time.

Children of any age who are not 100% toilet-trained are allowed in the water, but only if they wear Swimmies and/or tight-fitting rubber pants. If an accident occurs, please tell the lifeguard, evacuate the pool area, and notify a pool committee chairperson so proper action can be taken. This is to avoid potential disease transmission and comply with County Health Codes.

Children under 10 years of age must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Children needing flotation devices are not allowed beyond the dividing rope into the deep end of the pool.

Children 10-14 years of age may use the pool unaccompanied by an adult and accompanied by a sibling age 15 or older who has passed the swimming competency test conducted by the lifeguard during regular pool hours provided, as long as a lifeguard is present, the child has parental permission to use the pool, and the child has passed the swimming competency test conducted by the lifeguard.

Children 15 to 17 years of age may swim unaccompanied by an adult when a lifeguard is present. If they have passed the swim competency test, they may supervise siblings ages 10-14 when a lifeguard is on duty and if the younger children have passed the swim competency test.
