CONSTRUCTION AT THE POOL
There is some construction happening at the pool. They are renovating the concrete area at the front gates all the way down along the clubhouse including the two staircases. During the construction period the swimmers and families can walk through the sportscourt. Swimmers and swimmer families are not to stay in the sports court for an extended period of time. Penguins are to WALK carefully and quickly through the sportscourt on the way to the pool area. Please try your best to dry off before walking through the sportscourt.
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:
- 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!TEAM SUITS:
