It’s your day off, and it is a beautiful, sunny day outside. You know that this kind of weather
\ncalls for some quality time at your apartment pool. However, you also know that there are
\nsome activities that may disrupt your neighbors’ enjoyment at the pool. How do you avoid
\nmaking a poor impression and keeping the apartment pool a pleasurable place for everyone?
\nHere are five tips to ensure that you remain that awesome neighbor at the apartment pool,
\nwhether you are relaxing or taking part in the water fun:<\/p>\n
1. Follow the Posted Signage.<\/p>\n
Those posted safety rules are there for a reason! Be sure to follow any rules that your
\napartment complex may have when using their pool so that you and those around you
\nremain safe. Common safety rules include no high-impact jumps and no running near the
\npool. If you do not follow the safety rules, you are likely to get kicked out of the apartment
\npool area as well, which is not desirable for anyone.<\/p>\n
2. Don’t Invite a Large Number of Guests.<\/p>\n
While it usually is fine to invite one or two guests over to the pool (be sure to check with
\nyour apartment office before assuming!), you should not bring a lot of guests unless you
\nhave rented out the pool for a party. This policy makes sure that there is enough space in
\nand around the pool for the apartment’s residents.<\/p>\n
3. Use Your Headphones.<\/p>\n
You may love your music—but others may not! Blasting your music can be irritating to your
\nneighbors, especially if there are others playing theirs as well. To maintain your pool
\netiquette, bring headphones. This way, you still can listen to your music while respecting
\nothers’ desire for relative quiet. If you do not have a pair of headphones or earbuds, try to
\nkeep your music to a respectful level.<\/p>\n
4. Supervise Your Children.<\/p>\n
Unsupervised children at the apartment pool can be dangerous. Unfortunately, the
\nlifeguard cannot take care of multiple people at once—if there is one on duty. Children have
\nthe tendency to go against pool rules by either running or swimming without adult
\nsupervision. Additionally, screaming children can disrupt what would otherwise be a nice
\npool day for someone else. When supervising your children, be sure that they are on their
\nbest behavior so that your neighbors can enjoy the pool as well.<\/p>\n
5. Keep Your Language Appropriate.<\/p>\n
The language that you may use within the comfort of your apartment might not be what is
\nconsidered appropriate or clean for others. While certain words may be okay for you, they
\nmay offend other people.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind as well that there may not be just adults at the pool;
\nchildren are likely to frequent apartment pools as well. By keeping your language free of
\nany cussing, swearing, or otherwise non-PG words, you can ensure that nearby children are
\nable to continue enjoying the pool with you.
\nWith these tips in mind, you can make sure that your apartment pool remains a safe and
\nexciting getaway for your relaxation time!
