Looks fair enough to me, bet people do not abide by them though

Well I live down the road from you in Buenavista Golf VI and we have twice as many rules!! Most of them are common sense and courtesy really, nothing too arduous. We're ok with them.

[Babu]

I imagine most men violate rule no5 of the pool rules??

[Franfitz]

Seems pretty standard to me. I would add, no u supervised children and s drinks are to be in plastic cups/glasses and ensure you take your rubbish sesu,

There's an episode of "A place in the sun" where a potential buyer decides he doesn't like out community, because there are too many rules regarding the use of the pool. I'm not sure he'd think the same way if his community fees went up as a result of not having the right rules.

The 'no food & drink" rule is obviously there to avoid mess and prevent crisp packets and half-eaten sandwiches having to be fished out of the pool, but is obvious badly worded because everyone needs to be able to take bottled water at the very least. In reality, most people are sensible about the food and drink rule, and the lifeguard will only speak to people about it if they're being irresponsible.

The 'no coloured t-shirts' rule is to prevent dye staining the water, which apparently caused a problem in the past, but could be worded better.

One of the other concerns about inflatables is that it's possible for people to be trapped under them and not visible to the lifeguard or other users of the pool.

Hope this helps.

Pete.
