During the heat of the summer, a spacious pool truly is a haven for the entire family. If you’re lucky enough to rent in an apartment community in Greenwood that offers this exquisite addition, you should make the most of it.

A beautiful pool does make living in your Greenwood apartment community even more enjoyable. If you have fun swimming or relaxing in a deck chair, you can go any time within pool hours. Build friendships with neighbors in the sunshine. Swimming is a stellar whole-body workout if you’re working to lose weight or stay in shape. And that bright blue water lends to your neighborhood’s visual allure.

Remember Your Pool Pass

Before you get your sunglasses, check that you can unlock the pool. The majority of apartment neighborhoods give out a pool pass, code, or gate key to Residents. This allows only paying Residents and a small number of their guests can access the pool, not any passers-by. So if you plan on swimming this summer, stop by the leasing office at the start of the summer. Be sure to remember, please refrain from sharing your pool key with unauthorized guests and non-Residents.

The Swimming Pool Is More Fun With The Essentials

Avoid having to walk back and forth to your residence, remember to tuck these must-haves in a hand bag or backpack. Reference this quick list of necessities for your Greenwood apartment swimming pool:

  • Large beach towel
  • Swimming goggles
  • Water tumbler -- no glass please!
  • Waterproof sunscreen
  • Sunglasses
  • Your favorite sandals

Leave snatchable things like a purse, wallets, watches, and jewelry at your apartment. But it’s tough going to the pool without your phone. If you choose to bring it, make sure to stick it under your chair when you take a dip in the pool. This ought to both guard your phone from prying eyes and ensure you don’t forget it when you leave.

Your Greenwood Apartment Swimming Pool Has Rules For A Reason

Pool rules don’t exist to keep you from your enjoyment. Apartment neighborhoods have rules about pool clothes, food and drinks, rowdiness, substance use, pool capacity, weather closures, and sometimes more. These rules are in place to protect you, other guests, and pool property. If they weren’t there, someone risk serious injury.

Keep in mind the unwritten rules of basic courtesy. Blasting loud music, hogging chairs, and leaving trash around will bother fellow pool-goers. Be polite and stick to the rules so all guests can experience a pleasant time in the water this summer.

You Look Out For Your Personal Health And Safety

Most apartment communities don’t employ lifeguards. A couple of apartment communities employ lifeguards, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t still responsible for your safety. In fact, you can see a posted notice that apartment management is not responsible for accidents, injuries, or theft.

You’ll have a better time at the pool when you keep yourself safe. Slather on appropriate amounts of sunscreen. Drink liquids. Wear proper footwear outside of the pool. Stay out of the water with a fresh wound. Know your limits as a swimmer. And don’t bring your valuables. Some facilities offer access to lockers, sunscreen, water bottles and more pool gear during those hot days you spend by the water.
