Policies
To ensure that all of our members can enjoy our facilities we ask that you understand and adhere to the following policies. Additionally, all members and their guests using the the pool do so at their own risk. Belmont Day and its personnel are not responsible for accident, injury, or loss or damage of personal property.
General policies for members and guests
- Members must check in upon arrival at the pool with the lifeguard on duty.
- The speed limit on our driveway and Day School Lane is 10 m.p.h. Please use our driveway located at roughly 690 Concord Avenue rather than coming up Day School Lane. Our campus is now one way.
- Belmont Day prohibits smoking, the use of alcoholic beverages, and dogs on all school grounds.
- Picnics on the grounds are encouraged, but members and guests are responsible for discarding all refuse. Please use a carry-in, carry-out procedure when possible. We have limited facilities support on the weekends; over-filled trash cans can lead to pest problems.
- Food and drink are not permitted inside the fenced area around the pool.
- Audio devices may only be used with earphones or played at low volume. Earphones may not be worn in the pool area.
- Members and guests under 16 years old must be accompanied at all times by a parent/guardian or nanny/babysitter.
Failure to follow these policies can result in a revocation of membership without a refund.
Our two pools are a wonderful way to cool off and enjoy the summer. We invite you to take a dip and beat the summer heat. To ensure everyone’s safety in the pools, we have the following policies regarding pool use.
