Sleepy Hollow Community Pool Policies and Guidelines
1. Use of the pool will be restricted to PAID POOL MEMBERS only.
2. All individuals must register at the snack bar upon entering the premises, give the membership name, and be prepared to present a photo ID.
- At check-in, arriving member or authorized caregiver will give their name and names of member children entering.
- Pool staff will verify membership
- Member or caregiver will state the number of guest adults and children in tow, write down the names on the guest sheet and pay the applicable guest fees.
- Children of members, who are age 11+ and swimmers, may come to the pool without an adult member or caregiver, must register at the snack bar, give their membership name, and their age.
- Children of members, who are age 10 and under and all non-swimmers, must be accompanied at the pool by a parent, other responsible adult pool member, or authorized caregiver who is charged with primary responsibility for supervision, discipline, and safety of the child, in the pool or locker room, or elsewhere on the premises.
- Non swimmers must be accompanied in the pool by a parent or caregiver who is within arms’ reach of the non-swimmer, whether or not the non-swimmer is wearing flotation. Lifeguards have the authority to evaluate the swim status of any member or guest. (Generally, the ability to swim across the width of the pool without flotation and take breaths while crossing demonstrates swim ability. However, young and inexperienced swimmers can become disoriented or alarmed, and parents are encouraged to be in the pool and attentive to them).
- For any child who requires and wears floatation aides, they must remain within reach of the parent or guardian/caregiver at all times. Setting a non-swimming child free to float without their caregiver nearby at all times is strictly forbidden.
- Children who are not potty-trained must wear reusable swim diapers that fit snugly at the waist and legs. We recommend that children age 36 months or younger wear reusable swim diapers.
4. Guests: SHHA pool members may bring up to 5 day-guests per day according to guest fees:
- $10.00/day/adult over 18 years of age
- $5.00/day child over 2 years of age
- SHHA Pool Member extended house guests may enter with the member as day guests OR may pay $50/month/adult or $25/month/child over 2 years of age (three month maximum).

5. Individuals with communicable and/or transmittable diseases and/or health conditions such as diarrhea shall not use the pool until a current notice from their doctor is presented to the lifeguard, confirming no danger is posed to others.
6. Pool facility is not available for rental. Children’s birthday parties, with non-exclusive use of the pool, may be arranged with the Pool Manager.

Any disagreements over the application or enforcement of pool or clubhouse policies, as determined by SHHA volunteers and staff, must be resolved amicably. Repeated policy violations or disputes may result in the loss of pool membership.
