Few things look more inviting than a glistening blue pool on a sweltering summer afternoon. If you’re blessed enough to live in an apartment community in Carmel that offers this treasured addition, you should make the most of it. To make the most of each and every pool trip, here are the best tips to know about your apartment swimming pool in Carmel.

A Pool Will Elevate Your Apartment Living Experience

A pristine pool does make living in your Carmel apartment community even more convenient. If you have fun swimming or sunbathing poolside, the world is your oyster any time within pool hours. You can make friends with neighbors in the sunshine. Swimming is a fantastic fitness activity if you’re trying to lose weight or stay in shape. Let’s not forget that a pool lends a luxurious flair to any community..

Remember Your Pool Pass

Ensure you have your method to get into the pool before getting into your new swimwear!. Most apartment communities give out a pool pass, code, or access key to community members. This ensures only paying Residents and a handful of their guests can access the pool, not just anyone. So if you want to swim this summer, head to the front office at the beginning of the season. And remember, please refrain from sharing your pool code with unauthorized guests and non-Residents.

The Pool Is Better With These Things

Avoid having to walk back and forth to your apartment, don’t forget to pack these essentials in a duffle bag or backpack. Here’s a quick list of essentials for your Carmel apartment swimming pool:

  • Large beach towel
  • Goggles
  • Water tumbler -- no glass please!
  • Waterproof sunscreen
  • Sunglasses
  • Comfortable sandals

Store snatchable things like a purse, wallets, watches, and jewelry at home. Thought it is impractical going anywhere without your phone. If you do bring it, make sure to conceal it under your chair when you take a dip in the pool. This serves to both guard your phone from wandering eyes and ensure you don’t forget it when you leave.

Your Carmel Apartment Swimming Pool Has Rules For Your Benefit

Pool rules don’t exist to stop your fun. Apartment communities have rules about pool dress, food and drinks, antics, substance use, pool capacity, weather closures, and more. These rules exist to care for you, other guests, and pool furnishings. If they weren’t there, someone could experience serious injury.

And don’t forget the unwritten rules of common courtesy. Blasting loud music, stealing chairs, and littering will bother fellow pool-goers. Be accommodating and follow the rules so all guests can experience a fun time in the water this summer.

You Need To Manage Your Personal Health And Safety

Many apartment complexes do not employ lifeguards. A few places employ lifeguards, but at the end of the day, you’re still responsible for your safety. Typically, you can see a posted notice that property management is not liable for accidents, injuries, or stolen items.

Safety is the chief concern for all trips to the pool.. So wear lots of sunscreen. Stay hydrated. Wear proper footwear when at the pool. Avoid the water with an open wound. Stick to your limits as a swimmer. And leave valuables at home. Some communities will provide you with lockers, sunscreen, water bottles and more pool essentials during those weekend afternoons you spend by the water.
