HOURS OF OPERATION

Pool is open to Hidden Forest residents and their guests. All guests must be accompanied by a resident. All residents and guests must register at the pool desk.

1. Pool hours are determined by the Pool Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has the authority to change pool hours as needed.

2. The pool may be closed at any time for emergency repairs or during weather conditions such as thunder or lightening. On the occurrence of thunder or lightening, everyone in the pool must exit the pool and remain out for at least 20 minutes. With continued occurrences of thunder and lightning during the waiting period, the lifeguards, at their discretion, may choose to close the pool for the remainder of the day.

3. A ten-minute "Adults Only" swim period will be held every hour. During this time, all persons under 18 years of age must exit the pool and surrounding pavement.

GUESTS

4. Residents may bring guests to the pool for a fee of $1.00 per person per day. No more than 9 guests are allowed at a time. Residents must sign their guests into the pool guest log and remain at the pool the entire time the guests are present. Residents must ensure their guests comply with all pool rules. A Guest Pass may be purchased by any HF resident for any guest(s) they may be housing for an extended period of time. Guest passes are $3 per week or $5 per two weeks, per person. These fees may be changed at the discretion of the Board of Directors. All guests must be accompanied by a resident.  If you are going to have more than 9 guests, you will need to host a small pool party, we need 2 weeks notice for that event.
