SWIMMING POOLS ARE FOR PEOPLE, NOT DOGS
The swimming pools are maintained for the pleasure and enjoyment of all residents. However, this does not include residents' dogs. County health codes forbid pets in community pools. County inspections are random and unannounced, and when the inspectors discover a violation, both the dog owner and the association may receive citations. If you know of residents who are bringing their dogs into the pool, please let TSAC know immediately.
POOL PARTIES
Pool parties are only allowed at TSAC Monday - Thursday, 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. If you would like to schedule a pool party, contact (949) 361-8466 for more information.
POOL REMINDERS
With the swim season here, please take a moment to review the following pool & safety rules and practices with your children. Please do not drop your children off at the Swim & Athletic Club if they are under the age of 14. They are NOT allowed in the pool area unless accompanied by a parent or adult (over the age of 18).
Foam noodles are NOT allowed in the resort pool or the lap pool unless they are used with a specific conditioning class with an instructor. The foam breaks apart and gets caught in the circulation system.
Plastic blow up toys, life rings, baby boats and floating apparatus are not allowed.The only flotation devices that may be used are U.S. Coast Guard approved with the Coast Guard approved seal on the device. "Water Wings" "Swimmies" are called Puddle Jumpers and are US Coast Guard Approved. You may buy them from Amazon.com, target.com and leapsandbounds.com

Disposable diapers are NOT allowed (even with the plastic pants) as they break apart and form a film on the pool water surface. Swim diapers are allowed provided they are worn with the plastic pants.

PREVENTING SWIMMER'S EAR
- Dry your ears after swimming. If it is difficult to get the water out of your ear, apply a few drops of an alcohol-based ear product into the ear.
- Pay attention to signage and avoid swimming in locations that have been closed because of pollution.
- Avoid putting objects in the ear (fingers, cotton swabs) that can scratch the ear canal and provide a site of infection.
WATER SAFETY
Drowning is the second leading cause of injury-related death for children (aged 1-14 years), accounting for 940 deaths in 1998. You can greatly reduce the chances of you or your children becoming a drowning victim or near- drowning victim by following a few simple safety tips:
- Whenever young children are swimming, playing, or bathing in the water, make sure an adult is constantly watching them. By definition this means that the supervising adult should not read, play cards, talk on the phone, visit with friends, or do any other distracting activity while watching children.
- Never swim alone or in unsupervised places. Teach children to always swim with a friend.
- Keep small children away from buckets containing liquid: A 5-gallon industrial container is particularly dangerous.
- Teach children to swim. Enroll yourself and/or your children aged 3 and older in swimming classes.
- Learn CPR -this is very important for pool owners and individuals who regularly participate in water recreation.
- Do NOT use air-filled swimming aids (such as "water wings") in place of lifejackets or life preservers with children. These can give parents and children a false sense of security and increase THE RISK OF DROWNING.
- Check the water depth before entering. The American Red Cross recommends 9 feet as a minimum depth for diving or jumping. Read the facility signs for rules on diving.
