SOC Pool By-Laws
Our Board of Directors meet once a month and all members are welcome to attend. Please contact the Board Secretary for information regarding board meetings. Board Meeting Minutes
Our staff is composed mainly of neighbors to provide familiarity, comfort, and continuity. Many “first jobs” were as guards at SOC Pool. Contact our Vice President for more information.
Members value SOC Pool for its place in our community and its close-to-home leisure, social activities, and contributions to neighborhood strength.
Our Stingrays Swim Team competes in the NVSL. Swimmers of all abilities are encouraged to join the team for a great summer of fun and activity. We offer a "mini stingrays" program for non-swimming children to teach them to swim.
Inclement Weather Policy – For safety reasons, the pool will remain closed for 30 minutes after noting thunder or lightning. Members must vacate the pool deck--they may seek shelter in the pavilion area or the bathhouse. If, in the judgment of our staff, the weather is unlikely to clear for a long period of time, the pool may close completely.
SOC Pool has a Swim Testing Policy to assess ability and safety for swimming independently in the pool, SOC Pool requires that anyone 10 years of age and younger pass a swim test in order to be able to swim without direct adult assistance. This policy applies to members and guests.
- The test consists of a 25 yard swim (without touching the wall) and 1 minute treading water in the deep end.
- Tests will take place at rest periods or anytime a guard is free. Swim team members may be tested during practice. A lifeguard sitting in a chair cannot perform a swim test.
- Those who do not pass are welcome to try again in the future. They must have a responsible adult swimmer directly supervise them in the pool until they can pass the swim test.
- Parents unsure of abilities of older children may request testing.
