Pool Policies
- Safety: Safety is the number one priority at the Fox Chapel Golf Club pool. Lifeguards are present for the safety of all of our swimmers. All members, regardless of age, are expected to adhere to all posted safety rules and to listen to all lifeguard requests to adjust behavior to ensure the safety of all.
Please remember that the minimum age at which a child may be at the pool area without an adult is 10.
There are NO exceptions to this rule. The pool staff is not to be considered a babysitting service. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
- Use of electronic devices: Consistent with club policy, the pool committee expects that members will use appropriate judgment and be considerate of other members in the use of all electronic devices. Furthermore, since technology and its applications change rapidly, the pool managers have full authority to enforce these rules based on their judgment and perspective on how one member's behavior may be affecting others. Talking on a cell phone continues to be prohibited in the pool area, however it is permitted in the playground area and parking lot. The use of smartphones, tablets, laptops and cell phones for texting or email is permitted at the pool area, provided that their use is consistent with these principles.
