Pool Rules
     Updated for 2011
 
  • Non-member guests of the SJRYC must wear a club wristband prior to entering the pool. Wristbands are purchasable at the Rhumbline Bar for a fee of $2. The Club requests that in-town guests be limited to two visits per month.

  • There is a limit of 6 guests, per membership, at one time. If you will be accompanied by 7–12 guests you must make a reservation prior to your visit. If you’d like to bring more than 12 guests, special arrangements must be made with the Club Managers due to a possible need for additional Life Guards.

  • Rafts and large floats are prohibited in the pool for safety reasons. Children using flotation devices to aid in swimming must be accompanied by an adult nearby. Noodles and other toys may be used at lifeguard's discretion.

  • All swimmers must shower before entering the pool.

  • Swimmers must be able to swim 1 length of the pool to swim in the deep end.

  • When lifeguard is off duty, swimmers under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

  • Adult Members have first priority to pool lounge chairs.

  • No outside food or beverages are allowed at the club (as per the State of Michigan Health Code). No food is allowable at anytime within the gated pool area.

  • Swimmers must use only the adjacent lavatory facilities, not those on the 2nd or 3rd floors of the clubhouse.

  • Members must wear footwear and a “cover” over swimsuits in the clubhouse. Wet swimsuits are not allowed in the clubhouse, except for the lavatories or hallways to same.
