Retreat Owners, Residents, and Guests:
As you are planning your 4th
of July celebrations both here at The Retreat and in the Charleston
community, we would like to take this moment to provide a few reminders
to ensure your holiday is enjoyable and stress free!
FIREWORKS ARE NOT TO BE SET OFF INSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY. There
are going to be beautiful shows throughout the Charleston area. Please
refrain from demonstrating your own pyrotechnic talents at The Retreat.
Pool Rules and Reminders:
- There should be no glass inside of the pool gates.
This includes within your coolers. Please purchase cans or pour your
drink of choice into a plastic cup for your enjoyment poolside. There
are normally plastic cups available in the clubhouse if you forgot one.
IF
glass breaks in the pool area, the pool must be drained and cleaned
before use again. We do not want to have a dry pool on the 4th of July…
- The pool will be crowded this weekend.
Please be considerate of other guests and only reserve chairs that you
and your party need. Keep music at personal hearing levels or use ear
buds. Keep children (and chasing adults) from running around the pool or
jumping into the pool. As a courtesy to others around you, please
refrain from smoking while in the pool. Consider taking your smoke
break in a less crowded area as not to impose on those around you.
- Proper attire is required. No thongs. No naked children. Only swim diapers for non-potty trained infants.
Remember that accidents in the pool require a 24 hour treatment and pool closure… Again, let us not have an empty pool on the 4th of July.
- ONLY use the pool house bathrooms if you are wet. The
floors in the clubhouse are slick when wet. In addition, the clubhouse
furniture doesn’t respond well to wet bathing suits. Please protect
yourself and your community property by using the pool house restrooms
while enjoying to pool. If you, or your children, are wet, do not go
into the clubhouse.
- Pool hours are dawn to dusk. While a midnight swim sounds very enjoyable this time of year, the police will be called, and you will be charged with trespassing.
Clubhouse:
- Gym rules still apply. While
the gym equipment does look like a fun jungle gym to your children,
they can get fingers and toes pinched. Please do not let them in the gym
room unsupervised, without shoes, or wet. (See above comments about
being wet in the clubhouse.)
- Communal party at the clubhouse. The clubhouse is open for everyone to use on the 4th
of July, and if history repeats itself, a lot of people will be using
the grill and the pool deck this weekend. Please remember to be
neighborly and share the space.
Finally, please remember the importance of 4
th
of July, and take a moment out of your day to thank the service men and
women who still protect our freedoms 365 days of the year.
