Kenmont Swim & Tennis Club Rules & Regulations

These rules and regulations do not contemplate every possible situation or scenario. The primary purpose is to provide the membership and their guests with guidance regarding appropriate behavior and conduct to ensure a safe and enjoyable membership experience.

• Management (which includes designated Board Members) reserves the right to regulate any behavior or conduct deemed dangerous, inappropriate, disruptive or otherwise outside the expected norms of the Kenmont community.
• Failure to follow these rules and regulations may result in corrective action, including being asked to leave the facility and – in the most serious circumstances – the suspension or loss of membership without recourse.

• All members and their guests must check in at the guard shack.
• Members must be active, paid in full for the season.

Restricted Use of Electronic Devices

• The use of any electronic device – including cell phones – that is deemed by management or the staff disruptive to the overall use and enjoyment of Kenmont shall be prohibited. The primary purpose of this rule is to ensure members use headphones or other similar accessories with their electronic devices to avoid disturbing their fellow members. If it can be heard by others, it is presumptively disruptive.
• No pictures, videos, audios or similar recordings shall be made in the restrooms.

Main Pool and Diving Well Rules

• Any raft or flotation device may be removed by a lifeguard at any time for any reason.
• The use of the water-basketball hoop may be regulated by management and the lifeguards to include prohibiting its use.

• Specific rules are posted on the courts.

Clubhouse Rules

• No running; floors may be slippery.
• Please dry off before entering the clubhouse.
• The use of the ping-pong and foosball table, and any pool-owned equipment, paddles or balls, may be regulated by management and the lifeguards. Members who borrow pool-owned equipment are responsible for any damage.

Use of the Pantry and Kitchen

• The pantry and kitchen area and its appliances is not intended for general daily use by the membership.
• Use of the pantry and kitchen area and its appliances is restricted to prior sanctioned and approved events, e.g., swim team meets, Crab Fest, etc., and shall be regulated by management.
• Notwithstanding this standing prohibition, members may use the pantry and kitchen area and appliances for certain limited and minimally burdensome purposes. For example, occasional use of the refrigerator/freezer to store a birthday cake, or filling a water bottle with ice is appropriate. Keeping leftovers, storing a week’s worth of hotdogs or filling a cooler with ice are examples of inappropriate use. 
• Members are responsible for cleaning up after any use of the kitchen.
• Any items left after closing for the day may be thrown away or moved to the “Lost and Found.”

Birthday Parties/Group Events

Lost and Found

• All items of an apparent value left behind after the pool closes for the day will usually be moved to the “Lost and Found” – located in the clubhouse – for retrieval.
• The Lost and Found is maintained as a benefit for the membership and at the discretion of management. Members and guests assume the risks and responsibilities for any abandoned or forgotten items.
• Management will periodically during the season sort and dispose of lost and found items.
