Pool Party Rules

All persons using the pool/pool area and play area do so at their own risk. The Mar Cheri Community Club (HOA) assumes no responsibility for any accident or injury in connection with such use or for any loss or damage to any party members or property. Entry constitutes agreement not to hold the HOA, nor its agents or employees liable for personal injury or loss or damage to persons or property.

1. All members in good standing and with signed liability release form shall be permitted to host a pool party. The homeowner(s) hosting the party will be required to sign a waiver taking full responsibility for any damages, rule violations or accidents that occur during the party or to any of the visitors or HOA members attending the party.
2. The homeowner must submit a request to the board at least 2 weeks prior to the desired date for the party. Include the requested date, desired hours for the party and the number of anticipated guests. Once approved the liability release form will need to be signed at least 48 hours prior to the party.
3. A deposit will be required at the time of signing the liability release form. A deposit of $150 is required for a party of <10 people. A deposit of $250 is required for a party of >10 people. The deposit will be refunded after the party barring any fines or property damage. If there is any damage or fines that exceed the deposit then the host(s) will be billed for the balance. If this balance isn’t paid within 30 days then a lien will be placed on the home.
4. A total of 20 people are allowed for a party including the host homeowner/family. A maximum of 8 children defined as 13 years of age or younger are permitted at any party. The host(s) are directly responsible for their guests’ actions and must remain on pool premises at the pool with their guests.
5. A certified lifeguard must be arranged and paid for by the host(s) for a party with more than 10 guests. The lifeguard may not be a guest or host of the party. The lifeguard’s information and certification must be submitted to the board at least 2 weeks prior to the party.
6. Other homeowners and their guests will still be allowed to use the pool during the party. The host will be responsible for limiting the number of their own guests in the pool to accommodate the other homeowners if the pool becomes too crowded or party members start to interfere with the other homeowners’ enjoyment of the pool. Any Mar Cheri homeowner can ask the host or their party to leave due to pool rule violations or inappropriate behavior and the party must then end immediately.
7. Make sure the access gate remains closed during the party. The host will be required to let party members in as needed.
8. A maximum of 4 cars will be permitted in the pool parking lot and no additional parking will be permitted around the neighboring homes. Guests must park near the home of the host(s) and walk to the pool or someone will need to shuttle guests back and forth.
9. All trash must be picked up after the party and disposed of by the member hosting the party.
10. Absolutely no food is allowed in the pool area, with the exception of plastic water bottles. All beverages (except water), snacks or other food items for a party must be consumed outside the pool at the picnic table area. NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE TO BE CONSUMED IN THE POOL AREA. It is recommended that there isn’t any alcohol beverage consumption prior to using the pool.
11. All other General Pool Rules also apply and must be followed by the host(s) and their party guests. These rules can be found at the Mar Cheri website: www.marcheri.org
