Pool & Tennis Information
For the enjoyment of all Winston Manor residents, please ensure that all family members and guest are familiar with and abide by the policy and rules of the pool and tennis facility. Rowdy and reckless behavior, glass on the pool deck, lifting a person above the water line are some of the more common violations that need our attention. Any questions or concerns regarding the pool operations, staffing, etc. should be directed to any Board member. See Board of Directors link for phone contact numbers. A few additional reminders are listed below: Management reserves the right to close the facility at any time due to inclement weather, unsafe conditions, special events, or very low attendance. Additionally, the facility will close one half hour prior to home swim meets and awards banquets. These dates and times are listed on the Swim Team news page. Policy & Rules
The name of each person entering the facility must be placed on the Daily Register. Please enter both first and last names. Additionally, all guests must complete the information in the Purple Non-Resident Guest Book maintained in the pool office. The facility is for the sole use of Winston Manor residents and their accompanied guests. Guest fees are $3.00 per person. Grandchildren, grandparents, nanny’s or babysitters watching a resident child, or out of town or overnight guests (limited) are exempt. Guest fees apply to everyone entering the facility whether or not they swim. Guest fees may be paid at the time of entry or charged. Houseguests are small groups (usually less than six) of relatives or friends who are visiting from out of town and are sleeping and eating at a Winston Manor residence. Large family reunion, “local” pajama parties, and overnight birthday parties are examples that do not fall under this intent of the “houseguest” fee waiver. Items can be purchased at the concession stand on a cash basis or by deduction from a pre-paid account. Those wishing to allow family members to draw from a prepaid account may establish such an account with an initial deposit and recharge the account as necessary throughout the season. Parents may establish restrictions as they see fit. Account balances can be withdrawn in person prior to Labor Day. Any account left open after Labor Day will be carried forward to the next season unless other arrangements are made with the Pool Manager. The pool staff is not responsible for the control of children’s spending at the concession window or cart service. Smoking Remember that your neighbors have elected to have the complex operate as a non-smoking facility. This includes the parking lot area, especially when it is used for neighborhood parties and functions. Diapers Please dispose of soiled diapers in the appropriate containers in the restrooms. DO NOT place in trash receptacles on the pool deck. Make sure you are aware of the Fecal Accident Procedures. Regular diapers are not permitted in either pool. Non-potty trained children must be wearing special swimming diapers/pants to enter the pools. We will try to keep a supply available for sale at the concession stand. Band-aids Band-aids usually do not stay on while swimming and create an unsightly mess and potential health hazard. If a wound is so severe that it requires a band-aid, then the individual most likely should not enter the water. When practical, band-aids should be removed before entering the water and discarded in the biological waste container in the office. Entertaining Guidelines for All Pool Events If you host an event at the pool, you are in charge and should be at the pool during the entire event. Please ensure that no glass is brought into the pool area. All guests must leave by 11:00 pm and all clean up activities completed.
