Swimming Pools Rules & Regulations
(following are the Swimming Pool Rules for Northampton Recreation
Centers adopted by the District Board of Directors in May 1995).
Safety is the primary focus of pool operations. Our lifeguards have been required to receive extensive training for this purpose. Adult users are asked to cooperate with the staff and allow them the authority to maintain a safe pool environment. Should any user disagree with pool rules or lifeguard actions, their concerns should be directed to the facility manager at the MUD building.
Furthermore, the District can, at any time, revoke the privilege of use of the facilities by any person or persons due to misconduct or violation of any of the rules and regulations as set forth by the District. In the event of any such action, any user fee paid will not be refunded.
