This Week at the Pool 6/23/23 - 6/30/23

Follow-up re: Member Behavior & Pool Rule Violations

We heard from many pool members in response to our e-mail last week, sharing their feelings of frustration at the issues of rule breaking and poor behavior. Many members recommended the Board and NVPools staff take a firmer stance regarding blatant misbehavior and destruction of pool property. As a result, at the Board's June meeting, the Board reviewed the recent issues revolving around destruction of pool property, misbehavior in the playgrounds and bathrooms, and disrespectful comments from adults directed at NVPools staff. We want to remind the members that they are responsible for the behavior of their children and guests, and that we have a zero-tolerance policy for actions that threaten member safety (such as throwing sand at each other in the playground) or damage pool property (using the shower curtains to flood the bathroom). We have asked NVPools staff to implement a zero-tolerance policy for destruction of pool property, misbehavior (involving blatant rule breaking), and disrespect to staff. NVPools staff will be writing up incident reports that are delivered to the Board for any such incidents and the staff and the Board will take appropriate action to include short-term benching, 1-day pool bans, extended pool bans, or revocation of membership should the situation warrant that (in the event of repeat offenders).

This Week at the Pool 6/16/23-6/23/23

Recent Poor Member Behavior & Pool Rules Reminder

In the past several weeks the Pool Board has seen an uptick in failure to follow Pool Rules, disrespect to our Pool staff, and damage to Pool property. Specific examples include:

• Many instances of underage children (i.e., 9 and under, or 10-12 if not Swim Safe certified) wandering the Pool deck unattended without an adult, or non-swim-safe children 7 and under in the main pool not sufficiently supervised.
• Older kids playing on the little kids playsets and breaking one of the little kids swings - no parents around asking them to get off or supervising;
• A parent arguing with an NV Pool lifeguard (a teenager) over the type of music being played, distracting the guard from her duties;
• Too many members slam-dunking the water basketball hoops, resulting in a cracked hoop backboard;
• Multiple Pool-owned loaner pickleball rackets destroyed by careless or deliberate behavior;
• As noted previously, a portion of the Pool wall being torn off due to members sitting or jumping on the lane divider ropes; and
• Bathroom shower head torn off.

Our Pool is one of the most sought-after Pool memberships in the area because not only is it a safe and clean facility, but because we enforce our rules to ensure it is a safe and clean facility. The Pool Board believes that the issues we are having stem from a small subset of parents who are not supervising their children for the most part. Moving forward the Pool Board and NV Pools staff will be closely monitoring the Pool on a daily basis and will issue a verbal warning to any parent found not properly supervising their children in the water or the play areas or disrespecting our staff. If this warning is not heeded, a formal written notice will be issued with commensurate action taken against the member(s). The Pool Board takes these matters very seriously and will not hesitate to suspend the Pool privileges of any member and their associated family unit for repeated violations of our Pool rules.
All members should review and familiarize themselves with the Pool Rules, available here.
Please remember, this is a private club and a community Pool. Please treat other members and NV Pools staff with respect and treat the facility as if it was your own property.
