Pool Safety and Responsibility—A Reminder

Hello Foxboro North HOA Members,

We appreciate the community and hope all are having a safe and fun summer in spite of the high heat and drought conditions we are facing as a state.

This communication is one that is extremely important, as it pertains to the safety of our community (especially our children).

We have had a few extreme incidents at the pool the past year that have inspired this important pool reminder.

Parents, please make sure that your children are watched by you when they are in the pool. There is NO LIFE-GUARD ever on duty at our community pools (as is also posted on all pools for clear visibility) and as such it is the responsibility of the Parents or the adult(s) that are supervising the children, to watch over and care for them and their safe well being while being in the pool.

Here are a few of the rules that pertain to safety that we wish to remind each homeowner about and to remember the importance of obeying these rules so we can avoid any potentially life threatening issues for the children that you allow into the pool with your access.

Rules as posted below as seen on the HOA Website at: https://www.foxboronorth.com/pools (this is not an all inclusive list in this email, so please see the webpage for all rules and local laws the HOA has posted for the use of our community pools).

Here are some particular rules we wish to call out around pool safety, so that the community can avoid the potential life threatening issues that can arise if these rules are not vigilantly followed.

  • WARNING - NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY, bathers should not swim alone, children 14 and under shall not use pool without responsible adult supervision. (This means your children must be 15 or older to be in the pool without an adult. This rule also is often disregarded but we have had too many incidents with children under this age attending without supervision. Any resident may ask your child to leave if they are under age and without supervision. We strongly urge you to please come together as a community and be responsible and properly obey all access rules.

  • Children under the age of five years are prohibited from bathing in a spa or hot tub.

  • Lifesaving equipment must not be used for any reason other than its intended purpose.

You may be asking why is this email being sent with this important plea to follow these rules. It is because we deeply care and have concern for the safety of all our community members and their children. We want to keep them all safe and avoid any potential life-threating issues that could happen if these rules are not followed

We appreciate all of you and wish you the very best this year. May you be safe in all you do and have a great summer!

Sincerely,

The Foxboro North HOA Board
