TENNIS NEWS SQUEEGEES & BATT TOWELS ARE HERE FOR YOUR RAINY-DAY RELIEF As the summerr weather is upon us, please remember there are multiple tools at our courts to help dry your courts. They each serve a specific purpose, so in order to extend the life of these tools, please use them accordingly. Upon arriving at your wet court, please use a roller or pull squeegee to spread out the large amounts of collected water. The BATT towels are to be used once the water has been dispersed to help dry the court in a more efficient manner. Please watch this quick video on the proper way to use the BATT towel here: https://battowel.com/video Please remember to hang the squeegees and BATT towels back up on the inside of the fence when you have finished using them.
ALTA & USTA SIGNS HAVE BEEN REMOVED All of the signs on our fences have been hanging for several years now and most have significantly faded in the sun. Therefore, to further enhance our courts’ curb appeal, the tennis committee decided to remove all ALTA, USTA, and other league signs. If you would like to pick up any of the signs, please e-mail windermeretenniscmt@gmail.com. The signs will be available until September 1 before they are thrown away.

PET TIPS
KEEP YOUR DOG SAFE IN
Hot Weather
With Summer here and temperatures rising, we all need to be very aware of how the heat affects our dogs. The ASPCA, American Society For The Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has some helpful and important tips to remember. And while they may sound like common sense, we need to be reminded again! - Keep him very well hydrated with plenty of fresh, clean water. - When temperatures are high, do not let him linger on hot asphalt or concrete. His paw pads can be very sensitive,.... which leads into the next very important tip or should be called a rule.
- DO NOT take him along for your “exercise run” ! - NEVER, EVER leave him alone in a parked car even for a few minutes. The temperature in your car can rise almost 20 degrees in just 10 minutes. Even on a 70 degree day, it can become 110 degrees. If you see a pup in a car, please call 911. - When it’s time to take a dip in the pool or lake, do not leave him unsupervised. Contrary to popular belief, not all dogs are good swimmers. ASPCA says to introduce water gradually and always have them wear a flotation device on a boat. In general, just be aware of overheating signs which include: -Excessive panting or difficulty breathing -Increased heat and respiratory rate -Drooling -Mild weakness, stupor or even collapse -Seizures -Blood, diarrhea and vomit -Elevated body temperature of over 104 degrees Please remember all of the above when venturing out on a hot Summer day. Our fur babies are precious, innocent and valuable!

POOL NEWS Residents please be aware, Lifeguards, Pool Manager and the Pool Management Company have FULL AUTHORITY to interpret pool rules and to enforce their compliance on behalf of the Windermere Homeowners Association, including requesting any person(s) to leave the pool area in the event of noncompliance with operating rules and procedures, or for any other cause, that in his or her judgment warrants such action. PLEASE be the example! These lifeguards are in their teens, watching your kids and keeping our pool safe and clean. Here’s to a beautiful summer! Amenities Access Cards / Pool Stickers Access cards with 2022 sticker must be used by residents for admittance to the pool area. 2022 stickers may be obtained in person at the Lodge by the adult homeowner or resident. No children, nannies, or other family members may obtain stickers. You are asked to read and familiarize yourself with the Pool Rules in the Pool Info Packet and bring the signed Acknowledgement form and your two access cards with you when you pick up your sticker. Amenities access cards are available to residents who are current on their HOA dues and fees.
The following procedure will be followed by all who wish to access the slide. The line to ride the slide will form on the pool deck at the bottom of the slide stairs. Only ONE person at a time is allowed on each stair platform (meaning one person is allowed on the top platform and ONE person is allowed on the middle platform). Parents accompanying their small children are the only exception. Please see full water slide rules in the Pool Info Packet. Lap Pool / Lap Lane One lap lane is available at all times and is to be kept clear for lap swimmers. (Rule 1.H). Swim Diapers & Covers Swim diapers and plastic pants that fit snuggly around the waist and legs are required for all persons age three and under and for those who are not toilet trained. Parents may be asked to verify that a child is wearing a swim diaper and plastic pants (Rule 1.E). Rafts and Floats No rafts, inflatables, or propeller type devices are allowed in pools, as these can create a visual impediment for the lifeguards. To clarify, swim vests, noodles, arm floats, infant tubes and swim aids are the only flotation devices permitted (Rule 1.N).

What if you could use our money to maximize the value of your home? Homes in the neighborhood are getting older. If you want to sell for the most money possible, you need to update before you list. We can front you the money for things like painting, flooring, staging, and repairs through the Compass Concierge Program. You simply pay it back at closing. No fees. No interest. Dozens of our sellers have used Compass Concierge - including some of your neighbors - and doubled the return on their investment.

CLOSING WITH COMPASS CONCIERGE The sellers of 1609 Heathrow Drive utilized the power of our Compass Concierge Service by painting, refinishing hardwood floors, replacing carpet, updating the kitchen with quartz and white cabinetry, and staging their home to sell! The results were worth it! Many competitive offers were submitted and we officially closed at $1.26 million! 1609 Heathrow Drive, a record-breaking sale for this neighborhood, is an excellent example of our superior marketing, strong strategies, and the impact that our Compass Concierge Services can make.
