Pool Rules

Effective Date: May 23, 2016
1.	Sign In. Your key is your sign in!  You must use your key to enter the pool. Please do not ask other residents or the lifeguard to let you in. If you ask someone to let you in, the lifeguard will need you to sign in on paper to verify that you are a resident of Montebello. No one will be able to enter the pool area without a homeowner’s pool key.  Replacement keys may be purchased for $10.00 from NHE.

2.	Children. All non-swimmers must be accompanied by a swimmer with the ability to assist when using the pool area. Bathing suits must be worn at all times when using the pool; no cut-offs are allowed. No one who has an infectious disease, open sores or bandages, or appears to be under the influence of any type of drug including alcohol may use the pool.

3.	Pets. Pets are not allowed in the pool area.

4.	Safety and Maintenance Equipment. Safety and maintenance equipment are primarily for the use of the lifeguards and must not be removed, tampered with or played with. The rope and buoys in the pool are not to be played with, sat upon or unhooked for any reason. Reports any frogs, bugs, etc., that are caught in the filters to the lifeguards and they will remove them.

5.	Lifeguards. Do not distract the lifeguards when on duty unless absolutely necessary.  Be courteous to the lifeguards when communicating pool safety and upkeep concerns to them. Please report all unfamiliar people at the pool to the lifeguard. Construction and landscape workers are not to use the bathrooms at the pool. The Board of Directors of the Montebello HOA has authorized the lifeguards to require anyone engaged in inappropriate behavior to leave the pool and pool area.

6.	Conduct. Diving, running, and horseplay are not allowed.  Objects may not be thrown across or into the pool. Do not climb fences under any circumstances. No alcohol may be served to anyone under age.  No glass containers of any kind are allowed in the pool area. Smoking is not allowed in the pool or in the surrounding areas, including the clubhouse, tennis court and playground. If music is played, the volume must be kept low.  A county ordinance requires all loud noise to cease at 10:00 pm.

7.	Showers and Bathrooms. Everyone should shower before entering the pool. Please accompany younger children to the bathroom to assist with wet suits, etc. Many times accidents happen and the lifeguards end up having to clean up messes and clogged toilets. Please be sure all non-potty trained children wear appropriate swim diapers and accompany young children to the bathroom regularly. Please help keep the bathrooms safe and clean. Cleaning supplies are kept in the bathrooms for use and should be kept out of the children’s reach. Garden hoses are for cleaning purposes only and are not for play.

8.	Playground. The lifeguard has the keys to the gate going from the pool area into the playground and will gladly unlock it. The playground gate from the pool area will be locked when a lifeguard is not on duty. Children must rinse their feet when leaving the playground and must shower before re-entering the pool.

9.	Housekeeping. Please treat all pool furniture as if it were your own.  Put all umbrellas down when you leave, especially if you are the last person to leave in the evening. Pick up all trash and put it in the trash containers within the trash bag liner. If a container is overflowing, please take it to the dumpster or ask the lifeguard to do so. Personal pool items, floats, toys water guns, swimmies, etc. should be taken home daily and may not be stored at the pool. The “lost and found” box will be emptied on a regular basis. Remember to mark your name on valuable items.

10.	Guests.  Homeowners are not allowed more than 5 non-resident guests at the pool at one time, including for birthday parties, visiting friends or relatives. This includes all age children and adults.  Please, no non- resident guests (unless they are staying in your home) on Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day.  All guests must be accompanied by a resident at all times. Be considerate of other members in how many guests you bring.

11.	Pool Parties. Pool parties of 5 or more participants must be scheduled through NHE at 864-467-1600. NHE must schedule a lifeguard from Upstate Pool Management at a cost of $20 per hour plus a $10 clean up fee – minimum 2 hours. The clean-up fee is charged by the lifeguard company to pay for the lifeguard cleaning up the pool deck and putting things away. If you choose to have a party of more than 5 non- residents at the pool without contacting NHE, please understand that the lifeguard will ask you to leave the pool. Please be aware that the pool will still be open to all HOA members during parties.
