This means no rushing out the door in the morning, worrying about where you are going to park. it also allows you to leave the meet for any reason and you’ll be able to come back and park in the same spot. More information to come. Keep your eyes and ears open.

IMPORTANT RULES OF THE POOL
The Los Paseos Aquatic Club rents the pool every year from the Los Paseos Homeowner’s Association. The Los Paseos Home Owner’s Association Board has asked for our assistance in maintaining their rules during swim meets and practices. Safety is of course everyone’s top concern. We also need to to be respectful of the HOA property. Parents and siblings are welcome to stay during swim practices, but we do ask that you please follow these guidelines:
- Please keep all bikes and scooters outside of the pool gates at all times.
- Children should not be at the pool without adult supervision; the coaches need to focus on the swimmers in the water.
- Kids should not be playing on the pool deck during practices at all. They are welcome to play on the grass but should not play in the horseshoe pits or around the storage shed area.
- Any food or trash you bring into the pool area should be carried out to the dumpster outside or taken with you, please. With construction, no pool staff and only our LPAC coaches there at the end of the night, taking out the trash should not be one of the coaches jobs.
- No one is allowed in the Pickleball courts (Sportcourt area) unless already arranged with the Home Owners Association.
- Parents, please do not move furniture or adjust umbrellas during practices, and be sure to straighten up the area when you leave.
We appreciate your help keeping the pool environment safe and enjoyable for everyone!
