Help us make next year even better by filling out the End of Year Survey

Welcome to the 2011 season!

2011-05-23T13:31:00.000-07:00

We look forward to a fun-filled and safe season.

Included as part of your dues, is use of the Club’s tennis facility. Previously, swim and tennis operated as separately. Now, the operations are merged and we are a combined club, Fox Mill Swim and Tennis Club. If you would like a key to gain entry to the tennis courts, please send a note to Bryan Thomas at bryan.thomas@am.jll.com. Additional details regarding tennis operations will be posted to the Club’s website.

Occasionally throughout the season we will solicit volunteer help for maintenance, cleanup, and organizing activities. Our Club has limited funds so any work that can be accomplished with volunteers helps our financial posture. Please consider volunteering when asked or when you see a need arise.

Below are some key procedures and policies to know:

Gate procedures: A family photograph MUST be on file for a member to use the pool. In lieu of using ID cards, the life guard(s) on duty in the office will check the photo book to ensure that only members are using the pool. Please note as well that upon entry to the pool everyone is required to sign in. We encourage you to mail or deliver a family photo to a Board member or the pool as soon as possible if you have not done so already. If you do not have a photo on file you will not be admitted into the pool.

Guest Fees: The daily guest fee is $3 per person or $12 per family per day. For a guest staying in a member's home for up to 14 consecutive days, an extended guest pass is available for $25 per person or $40 per family.

Baby-sitter Fees: A babysitter is defined as anyone caring for children under the age of 21. The admission fee for a babysitter is $3 per day or $50 per season. The fees for the babysitter's own children, if any, are also $3 per child per day or $50 per child per season. One babysitter may be responsible for no more than 3 children 12 years of age or younger.

Seasonal Child Care Fees: A childcare provider/adult is defined as anyone over the age of 21 caring for children. A member who is providing childcare in their home for non-member children may pay a fee of $75 perchild for the summer season to bring that child into the Club in lieu of a daily guest fee. The member must remain at the pool with the child(ren). One adult may be responsible for no more than 5 children 12 years of age or younger.

The Swim Test: Children between ages 8 and 14 are permitted into the pool alone provided they pass a swim test. Parents must be present for the swim test and must remain at the pool with their children until the swim test is passed. The swim tests will take place during break times at the pool (at quarter to the hour every hour). Children who are not able to pass the swim test must be supervised at all times by a parent and may retake the swim test on another day.

Operations: This summer NV Pools is under contract as our pool management company. On-site pool Managers, Assistant Managers and the lifeguard staff are employees of NV Pools with day to day responsibility for the safe operation and use of the pool. Please feel free to bring any concerns to the Manager, Assistant Manager or one of the lifeguards. Contact a Board member concerning matters such as operating rules. The primary Board contact with the Pool Staff will be Karen Costello. You may also provide your ideas and thoughts by emailing Karen Costello at kcostello0304@gmail.com. The pool staff is trained in life saving and basic first aid. Injuries should be reported immediately to the pool office. Pool rules will be posted outside the office as well as on the back fence near the slide.

Reminder for parents with small children: Infants and partially potty trained children must wear snug fitting plastic pants or swim diapers in the pool. The lifeguards are not responsible for children in the baby pool area. Children in the baby pool area must be supervised by an adult.

Child Care Authorization: A parent or guardian must complete an authorization form (available on-line or in the guard office) if their child will be coming to the pool under the supervision of a child care provider (baby-sitter). The sitter must be familiar with pool rules, a competent swimmer, and a reliable person. Members are responsible for the conduct of their children who attend the pool accompanied by a baby-sitter, as well as for the conduct of the selected baby-sitter. It is the member's responsibility to ensure that the pool management has an accurate phone number to reach the parents or authorized individual.

Swimming Lessons: Watch for sign-up sheets for classes. NV Pools has a great Swim Lesson program. The lifeguards and the pool company will provide details and schedules when the season begins.

Friday Night Grill

The pool’s grill is available every Friday night for informal gatherings from 5:30pm to 7:30pm.

Private Parties: Private parties may be held during pool hours. If your party has more that 10 attendees, there will be at $25 usage fee in addition to any applicable guest fees. You must contact Richard Rognlie (703) 391-1337 to schedule your party.
