Lifeguards are on duty from 11:00 pm – 8:00PM.

The following pool rules have been developed for the safety and enjoyment of all members. Please read them carefully as any use of the amenities will be confirmation of understanding these rules and regulations.

The lifeguard has full authority to enforce all safety and sanitary measures deemed necessary for the proper operation of the pool. They will monitor the compliance of all pool policies and rules. The Stewart’s Mill Homeowner’s Board supports the lifeguard’s decisions.

Pool privileges may be revoked by the Stewarts Mill Homeowner’s Board if the homeowner is not current in the payment of their annual dues or if behavior at the pool places anyone in danger.

The primary function of the lifeguard is to enforce the pool rules and ensure that our pools remain healthy and safe not to discipline or baby-sit. Members are asked to observe all rules so the lifeguard may be free to their job.
