Pool rules

 (Effective Date 06/30/2024)   

Only Members in good standing may use the DRRC pool. Admittance is limited ONLY to those family members listed on the Membership profile. The admittance of guests will be in accordance with the Pool Guest Policy.

Please do not let people you don’t know “tailgate” or “piggyback” on your key fob access.  If folks have forgotten their key fob, they can call a board member for assistance, or go home and retrieve it.  Our member-owners pay for peace of mind as well as access. 

Please don’t be rude to non-members who arrive at the gate. We are stakeholders, not the police.  Be firm but gracious and point out that they can apply for membership or go to one of the daily access pools nearby.  The website and a list of local day-pools will be posted near the inside of the gate.

If non-members/ non-guests have made their way inside and are in the pool area, do not feel compelled to confront them.  If they are causing issues call or text a board member, if they are not causing issues, you can simply ignore them, or even invite them to join.
