The following rules are designed for your protection and safety.   The Pool Committee has attempted to keep them short, simple and clear.  Ultimately, however, we rely on your good judgment and consideration for the rights of other residents.   Keep the pool safe, clean and enjoyable for everyone -- observe these rules and see that ALL members of your household and your guests do, too.   You are fully responsible for the activities of your children at the pool.  Be sure that they obey the rules and the instructions of all pool management staff members. 

The careful observance of these rules by the residents will keep our pool in compliance with Fairfax County regulations and the provisions of our insurance coverage. Violations of Fairfax County regulations can lead to immediate closing of the facility.  Unannounced inspections by County officials will take place on a frequent basis.

All residents use the pool at their own risk and are liable for any property damage incurred by themselves or their guests.  The pool management staff and the LVCA are not responsible for loss of personal property.
