All PVYC members and guests must sign in when entering the
pool area. Members are allowed to bring guests only as outlined
in the PVYC Rulebook and the following guest fees must be paid
to the lifeguard:
Adults: $3.00
Children: $2.00
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Diaper Policy
Diapers of ANY sort or design are NOT allowed in the big pool.
Your child MUST be reliably toilet trained and out of diapers to
use the big pool.
Diapers may be worn in the small pool provided they are
properly fit “swimmies” types.
Regular cloth/paper diapers are NOT allowed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Closing Time
Closing time, be it 7 PM or 8 PM, is intended to be the time the lifeguard physically closes and
locks the pool area gate for the night. Obviously, that means that members who wish to use
the changing rooms, get toweled off and gather belongings, etc. need to do so BEFORE
closing time. That is why our lifeguards give a 15 minute warning as to approaching closing
time each night. You and your family should be physically out of the pool area enclosure at
the stated closing time. The time on the clock on the pool-house wall shall be the correct time,
unless the lifeguard states otherwise.
We ask that you be mindful and respectful of the fact that our lifeguards are scheduled to leave
at closing time and are looking forward to time with their family and friends after a long day.

All children 12 and under who are in the pool area must be accompanied by their parent(s), or
by an adult with the permission of the parent(s). Non-swimmers wearing swim aids in the big
pool are prohibited from entering the deep end of the pool. The 4 inch wide black stripe on the
walls and bottom of the pool, along with floats across the width of the pool, indicate the
separation between the shallow and deep areas of the pool. Additionally, non-swimmers
using swim aids must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is in the water with him or
her at all times.
