Floatation Devices

All PFDs (Personal Flotation Devices/lifejackets) must be US Coast Guard approved.
Coast Guard approved PFDs are stamped on the inside of the jacket.
RSSC Staff will tag your PFD so all lifeguards know it has been approved.
Small children in the baby pool and children wearing personal flotation devices (PFDs) in the main pool are considered non-swimmers.
Parents must be in the pool with any non-swimmer wearing a PFD. Parent must be able to physically extend one arm and reach the child at any given time.
Non-swimmers are most likely to need immediate assistance and parents must be in close proximity of their child to prevent an emergency situation from occurring.

No Glass

No glass of any kind (including beverage bottles, crockery, baby food jars, salsa jars, Pyrex, finger nail polish bottles, serving trays, compacts, etc) will be permitted on the Club premises.
Management reserves the right to confiscate any such glass.
In the event that broken glass gets in the pool, the pool would have to be drained, cleaned, re-filled, and balanced. This process could take up to ten days.
Due to the nature of our facility, members walk around the grounds barefoot which could be hazardous if glass is brought on the premises.

The pool test is offered to members and guests under the age of 13.
The swim test is conducted to ensure the safety of all the patrons going off the diving board and swimming in the diving well.
The swimmer must demonstrate that they are capable of swimming in deep water proficiently when they take the test as this allows the lifeguards to effectively monitor all swimmers in the pool and in the diving well.
In order for the child to pass the pool test, he/she must complete the following criteria (unaccompanied) in the diving well: 4 lengths front crawl (freestyle) with their face in the water, 2 lengths back stroke, and tread water for 2 minutes.
Upon completion of the test, the child must wear a pool bracelet while diving and swimming in the diving well.
The pool test must be passed every year and is documented in the membership file.

When thunderstorms are present, everyone must exit the pools for 30 minutes after the last thunder clap is heard.
It is the responsibility of the Staff to make the call, close the pools and reopen the pools.
If the weather is severe or long lasting, the Board of Directors and/or Manager reserves the right to close the facility.
