🌊 Briarcliff Woods Beach Club - Pool ☀️
Welcome to your summer oasis! The BWBC Board and Aquatic Management have compiled our guidelines to ensure a safe, clean, and fun season for everyone. Use facilities at your own risk and let's have a great summer!
🚨 Essential Pool Rules
- Health Check: Stay home if you have any flu-like or COVID-19 symptoms.
- Supervision: No one under 12 is permitted without an adult. Parents are responsible for children's actions.
- No Glass: Absolutely no glass is allowed in the pool enclosure.
- Safety Breaks: Lifeguards call a break 15 minutes before every hour. No one under 18 in the water during breaks.
- Minor Injuries: For band-aids, visit the concession stand so lifeguards can stay at their stations.
👶 Diapers, Guests & Nannies
- Swim Diapers: ALL kids not potty-trained must wear swim diapers. Note: A $200 fine applies if the pool closes due to fecal matter to cover treatment chemicals.
- Changing Stations: Located in both men's and women's bath houses. No changing in the open pool area or pavilion.
- Guests: Must be with a member at all times. Standard guest fee is $5 (higher for special holiday events).
- Nanny Policy: No extra charge for nannies in lieu of parents. Nannies must be registered via your member profile (no guest-bringing permitted for nannies).
🏊♀️ Lap Lane Etiquette
Notify a guard to clear the lap lane. Lanes are first-come, first-serve for adult members and approved swim team coaches. Multiple swimmers may share a single lane at an agreeable pace using standard circle-swim etiquette.
🎉 Pool Parties & Contact
Parties over 11 people require a reserved party lifeguard and a completed form submitted to the Pool Board. For pavilion rentals, visit the Members Only tab. Contact the Pool Manager or Membership Chair with questions.
