Here are a few updates from the pool board about the membership process, rules for pool parties and more:
MEMBERSHIP PROCESS
ELIGIBILITY
Only residents of Westbridge or Kilkenny subdivisions may be members of the Westbridge Neighborhood Pool. Application forms are available at the pool or can be downloaded from the "Forms" section of westbridgepool.com.
PROCESS
The sponsor and/or co-sponsor (normally the parents) must complete the membership application form. They should include all the family members who LIVE in the home with them (this may include adult children and in some cases, one or more of the sponsor parents). Anyone else (including children who no longer live at home) who they may wish to bring to the pool is considered a guest. Both sponsor and co-sponsor need to sign this form.
The sponsor and/or co-sponsor also need to complete the Insurance Waiver form and add the names of those living with them at the bottom of the form. Both Sponsor and Co-Sponsor need to sign this form.
Write a check for the appropriate fee — see the "Forms" page for the 2017 rates.
Either mail (to the P.O. Box on the form) or take the forms and check with you to the pool. If you mail the forms there maybe a week or so delay before your names are added to the register but if you take the forms to the pool the monitor will add your family names immediately.
NEXT STEPS FOR YOU
You should receive a key fob and a guest pass from the monitor. You can leave the guest pass at the pool with the monitor if you prefer.
BABYSITTERS
If you intend to use babysitters you will need to complete a babysitter form for each sitter. Each babysitter must also complete and sign an Insurance Waiver form. Cost is $25 for the first babysitter and $5 for each additional sitter. Grandpa and Grandma count as one babysitter.
NOTE Prospective residents may use the pool for one day for a fee of $25. However, they do need to complete an insurance waiver form before using the pool.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PARTIES AT THE POOL
We are happy for members to hold parties at the pool within the following guidelines:
WEEKDAYS: Choose two hours between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. Cost is $3 per guest with a minimum fee of $50 and a maximum of 30 guests. Tables will be set aside under the shelter for your use but the pool will still be open to other members. Please provide a list of guests at least two days before the event and ensure you clean up at the end of the party.
WEEKENDS and HOLIDAYS: Choose two hours between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Cost is $4 per guest with a minimum fee of $65 and a maximum of 30 guests. Tables will be set aside under the shelter for your use but the pool will still be open to other members. Please provide a list of guests at least two days before the event and ensure you clean up at the end of the party. Hours are more restricted as the pool tends to be busiest at weekends.
Anyone wishing to hold a party should contact the secretary with proposed dates and times at least one week before the planned party. The secretary can be reached through the website or directly by e-mail at drjames1345@gmail.com. Payment can be made in advance (mail to P.O. Box 342, Waunakee) by check or on the day of the party (to the monitor) by check or credit card.
