We are so fortunate here in Country Creek to have five pools for our residents to utilize. Since we all share them, it’s incumbent on each of us to be considerate of others as we use the pools. While we are currently waiting for new pool furniture to arrive, there are several things to consider to keep everything in good condition while respecting the comfort of our neighbors:
• Read and abide by the pool rules that are positioned in each pool area.
• While in the water, share the space. If you’re doing water aerobics or laps, for example, talk to others in the pool and come to an agreement on how you can use the pool together.
• Limit your use of radio and/or phone calls so you don’t disturb others who may want to read while they soak up the sun.
• Look twice before leaving to be sure you’ve collected all your belongings and any trash that may have accumulated. There are garbage cans in each pool area for trash disposal.
• Return lounges to an upright position and arrange them so that they are not in someone else’s way.
• Replace chairs around tables.
• Close and tie all umbrellas to prevent wind damage.
• In the bathrooms, remember to turn off all water faucets and, if there is also an outside entrance, remember to unlock both doors when you leave.
