  28. No “Depends” undergarments, no diapers (adult or babies), no swim diapers (they are not water proof and do not work) or the county will close down the pool at the slightest presence of E. coli, or feces – sometimes for the entire season.   Many pools test positive for feces in Sacramento County.
  29. Clean up after yourself when you leave the pool or clubhouse:  Take your towels, clothes, shoes, flip flops, bottles, toys, hats, sunglasses, papers, tissues, trash, and everything  with you.   Those who constantly leave a mess behind will lose pool or clubhouse privileges, permanently.

  53. No Petting Zoos (requested once)
  54. RESPECTFUL behaviors only at the pool area and the clubhouse.
