CALENDAR OF EVENTS
July—September 2024
THE 2024 SUMMER POOL SEASON IS HERE!
THE POOLS AT MUNDY MILL OPENED ON SATURDAY, MAY 11, 2024 AMS POOLS has returned for the 2024 season
RESIDENTS AND THEIR SAFETY IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY.
SAFETY HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE TOP PRIORITY WHEN THE POOLS ARE OPEN SO WE HAVE INCLUDED INFORMATION ABOUT THE POOLS AT MUNDY MILL
POOL HOURS
The pool opens at 8:00 a.m. for Mundy Mill Residents. The pool closes each evening at 10:00 p.m. If anyone is caught within the amenity areas after closing, you could be prosecuted for trespassing.
POOL SAFETY
Please pay close attention to the pool rules which are intended to ensure a safe environment for all residents. Please be aware that Lifeguards are primarily responsible for making sure the rules of the pool are being complied with. Parents are responsible for monitoring and supervising their children at all times, while in the water and on deck, and ensuring they observe the rules for their own safety. The majority of our parents are diligent in this regard, but there are still too many instances of unsupervised children. We had five (5) lifeguard saves of children in 2023 due to parents not paying attention. That is way too many possible drownings. We ask that you give your utmost attention to this and your full understanding and cooperation to the Lifeguards. They are not there to babysit your children.
POOL CLOSURES
Please be aware that pool management and staff have the discretion to close any pool for safety and weather-related reasons. If a Lifeguard hears or sees lightening or thunder, everyone will be asked to get out of the pool. If lightening is seen, the monitors may direct everyone to leave the pool area. The waiting period before pool/pool area re-entry is 30 minutes. The clock starts over each time a monitor hears thunder or sees lightening.
POOL RULES HIGHLIGHTS
There is no smoking within the pool or amenity areas, this includes vaping, cigars, pipes, etc. We have had serval reports of vaping at the pool in the 2023 season and this is prohibited!
There have been several complaints about loud music being played at the pools. If you are using a Bluetooth device to listen to music, it must only be at a volume where the owner can hear it and not disturb others around the pool area. If you are asked to turn the music down by either management, lifeguards or residents, please do it. If you do not comply you will be asked to leave the pool area immediately, we want everybody to be able to enjoy their day at the pools.
• Only pool toys are allowed. This does not include footballs, soccer balls, etc. If you are caught with anything other than a pool toy, it will be confiscated until you leave the pool.
• There is NO FOOD to be eaten with in the pool gates. This draws ants and we have had to call the pest control to treat for the ants. As everyone knows, 2023 was quite a year for ants all around the amenity areas. Please take your food to one of the pavilions or any of the picnic tables that are provided outside of the pool gates.
• There is NO GLASS containers allowed within the pool gates. If glass breaks and falls into the pool, the HOA would have to shut the pool down for a week or more. The pool would have to be completely drained, cleaned and refilled. Not only is the time consuming but is very costly to have done.
• CHAIRS ARE PROHIBITED IN THE POOLS
• LIFEGUARDS BREAKTIME Lifeguards take a break once an hour. Parents, please use this time to take your young children to the restrooms.
Rules and regulations are set for your safety and enjoyment when using the pool. Please adhere to every one of the rules posted on the walls of the pool houses.
