Lifeguards:

• The lifeguards are present to supervise pool operations and ensure the safety of all swimmers.
• They are responsible for the enforcement of all rules described herein and have the authority to dismiss anyone from the pool if their actions are judged to be hazardous or inappropriate in any manner.

• The lifeguards may close the pool at any time in consideration of the health and safety of the swimmers including the onset of inclement weather.
• Conversations with lifeguards should be kept to a minimum. LIFEGUARDS ARE NOT BABYSITTERS, nor are they expected to clean up after guests.
