***POOL RULES***
The Bay Forest lifeguards pay close attention and think about everyone’s safety. They are trained and certified professionals. The decisions they make are based on keeping people safe while helping folks enjoy the pool.
We do not have a long list of pool rules. We rely on the common sense of the patrons and the experience and training of the lifeguards to make the right decisions based on the situation and environment at the time.
For example, throwing a ball may be a bad idea when there is a whole bunch of little kids in the pool. It may be just fine with there are fewer patrons in the pool. So we do not have a 'no ball' rule.
Here are the basic - must follow - rules.
1. No Running
2. No Glass in the pool area.
3. No Pushing or dunking
4. One person on the diving board at a time.
5. No horseplay (Rough or loud play).
6. The lifeguards rules and orders are to be followed at all times.
7. The pool will be closed at the first sound of thunder and remain closed until 30 minutes past the last sound of thunder.
