A gorgeous pool makes staying in your Carmel apartment community even better. If you have fun swimming or reading in a deck chair, you’re free to enjoy any time within pool hours. Build friendships with neighbors at the pool. Swimming is an excellent exercise if you’re aiming to drop some weight or stay in shape. And that bright clean water adds to your neighborhood’s visual appeal.

Remember Your Pool Pass

Before you put on your swimsuit, make sure you can access the pool. Most apartment communities issue a pool pass, code, or gate key to Residents. This means only paying Residents and a handful of their friends can use the pool, not just anyone. So if you want to swim this summer, drop by the main office at the beginning of the summer. Be sure to remember, don’t share your pool key with unattended guests and non-Residents.

The Swimming Pool Is Always Better With These Things

Don’t waste time having to walk back and forth to your apartment, be sure to place these essentials in a tote bag or backpack. Reference this quick list of essentials for your Carmel apartment swimming pool:

  • Fluffy beach towel
  • Goggles
  • Refillable water bottle -- no glass please!
  • Waterproof sunscreen
  • Sunglasses
  • Comfortable sandals

Leave snatchable things like a purse, wallets, watches, and rings at your apartment. But it’s impractical going anywhere without your phone. If you choose to grab it, make sure to conceal it under your towel when you take a dip in the pool. This serves to both guard your smart phone from intrusive eyes and ensure you don’t leave it when you head home.

Your Carmel Apartment Swimming Pool Has Rules -- Follow Them

Pool rules aren’t just to limit your day. Apartment communities have rules about pool dress, food and drinks, antics, substance use, pool capacity, weather closures, and others. These rules exist to care for you, other guests, and pool equipment. If they weren’t there, guests could suffer serious injury.

Keep in mind the unwritten rules of every day courtesy. Playing loud music, hogging chairs, and littering will irritate fellow residents. Be polite and stick to the rules so every pool-goer can experience a fun time in the water this summer.

You Are Responsible For Your Personal Health And Safety

Most apartment communities don’t hire lifeguards. A few places staff lifeguards, but at the end of the day, you’re still the one has to look out for your safety. In fact, you can see a posted announcement that property management is not liable for accidents, injuries, or stolen items.

You’ll have a a lot more fun at the pool when you avoid injury. So wear lots of sunscreen. Drink liquids. Wear proper footwear when at the pool. Avoid the water with a fresh wound. Stick to your limits as a swimmer. And don’t bring your valuables. Some neighborhoods offer access to lockers, sunscreen, water bottles and more pool essentials during those weekend afternoons you spend by the water.
