Prattville Country Club - Pool Rules & Regulations

The Policy and Procedures committee, at the direction of the Board of Directors and under the
authority of the Prattville County Club by-laws, has defined the following rules for the primary
purpose of providing maximum safety, enjoyment, and utilization of the club facilities. It is impossible to prepare a set of rules that anticipates every situation; therefore, it is expected that every member will exercise common sense, honesty and consideration for others in the use of the pool facilities. Members will be responsible for informing their family and guests of the rules. Parents will be responsible for the behavior or their children and are requested to specifically caution their children to observe all rules and to obey all instructions of the lifeguards and staff of the Prattville Country Club.
