2024 Shakerag Pool Rules • Only residents of Laurelwood, Devonhall, Amberleigh and Huntington and guests who attend with residents may use the pool.
• It is swim at your own risk whether or not a lifeguard is on duty. It is everyone’s responsibility to be mindful of each other and always put safety first. This is particularly true when the lifeguard is not on duty, taking a break, or performing the closing activities. • Children under age 12 must be accompanied at all times by an attendant who is at least 15 years of age. If a child under the age of 12 is left unattended, they will not be permitted to swim. • No running, boisterous conduct, vulgar language, pushing or shoving others into the pool, or jumping onto rafts from the pool deck. • No dangerous objects (such as tennis balls, footballs, frisbees, etc.) in the pool or pool area. At the lifeguard’s discretion, objects such as large rafts and tubes may be banned from the pool if deemed unsafe. No skateboards, scooters, bicycles, or roller-skates in the pool area. • No glass, metal, sharp objects, or hazardous materials are allowed in the pool area. • Food and drink are allowed on the pool deck. No eating or drinking while in the pool or sitting on the edge of the pool. You are responsible for cleaning up the area where you have consumed food or drinks, including under the table. • No smoking, vaping, or e-cigarettes in the pool area or on the deck outside the pool entrance. • Persons with open sores or cuts are not permitted in the pool. • Diving and flips are not permitted during open (non-swim team) hours. • No pets are allowed in the pool area or left unattended outside the pool area. • The lifeguard break begins at 50 minutes past each hour and ends at the new hour. Everyone must clear the pool until the lifeguard announces “Zone clear”, after which the pool may be used for lap swim only. • The wading/baby pool is NOT monitored at any time and is always used at your own risk. Please actively watch over anyone who is using the wading pool. • It is mandatory for all persons not toilet trained and incontinent individuals to wear swim diapers and plastic swim pants at all times in either the wading pool or the main pool. Disposable or cloth diapers are not swim diapers. • Patrons must bring their own hand sanitizer and disinfectants to wipe down surfaces before and after use. • Pool chairs can only be reserved when you are physically present at the pool. Whenever possible and particularly on peak attendance days, please consolidate your belongings and allow others to use the deck chairs if you are not sitting on them. • This is a family facility. Proper attire must be worn at all times (bathing/swim suits). Underwear and thongs are not acceptable. Vulgar or offensive language will not be tolerated. Offenders will be asked to leave immediately. • The lifeguard’s word will be final when enforcing pool rules. They have the authority to ask patrons to sit out of the pool or leave the pool area completely. INFRACTION OF ANY POOL RULE COULD RESULT IN THE SUSPENSION OF POOL PRIVILEGES. • The lifeguards are responsible for keeping our restrooms clean within reasonable limits. If you find unsatisfactory conditions in any restroom, please notify the lifeguards. • Parties: All residents planning a community or private party at the pool MUST reserve the facility through the Shakeraghoa.com website at least two weeks in advance. Go to www.shakeraghoa.com, click on “Activities” on the menu bar and then click on “Reservations”. Your reservation is non-exclusive, meaning other residents will be using the pool at the same time as your party. You are responsible for scheduling and paying for additional lifeguards. This can be done at www.amspoolsga.com under “pool party reservations”. • Pool Hours: The pool is generally open daily from 11:00am to 9:00pm with the exception of Shakerag Shark Swim Meets and school days.
