- We are all excited that we now have a modern pool, open for the rest of the summer. So that everyone can enjoy it, the following is a reminder of the etiquette.
- Above all, and as with everything about our Club, please behave consistently with this being a shared second home. Have fun while respecting others. If there is “friction”, please work it out in a spirit of mutual respect
- Some specific etiquette rules will be re-posted around the pool as a reminder
- Some of the main ones
- Please, no food and drink in the pool area – this attracts wasps which can sting you (or other Members).
- The changing rooms are the right place for changing. Please do not do this in the pool area.
- No dirty clothes or other items in the pool – 2 examples from last weekend:
- People jumping into the pool in their athletic gear after doing sport in intense heat, without having showered
- Toddlers being placed in the pool in their nappies (diapers, in American English)
- General consideration for others with regard to water games, water pistols, jumping in near swimmers, etc.. This affects safety and also comfort.
- Your safety and that of your children is your responsibility at all times. Please do not let kids get out of your sight.
- There is no “Club police” on duty. We are all responsible for the norms of good behaviour, which means we can share this place. You are encouraged to work things out. If another Member is concerned about etiquette and raises this with you, please be respectful.
- Thanks to everyone for behaving with the right SAC spirit. If you do see something of concern, please do raise it with the Management Committee.
- The Management Committee
