Recently someone's key broke off in one of the community pool's gate locks. It has been replaced and your old pool key still works. Only one thing. This lock works differently than the old one. It doesn't lock automatically behind you. So when you leave the pool, please make sure you lock the gate behind you. That will help keep the pool secure.
Speaking of locks...
If you go to the pool, you'll notice that more often than not, somone has used the deadbolts of the cabana bathroom doors to prop the doors open. I know it's inconvenient to have to use your pool key to go into the bathroom. And goodness knows we don't want people using the pool as a toilet. However...
Doing this damages the deadbolt. It is not designed to support the weight of the door like this. Eventually the deadbolt won't work for its originally intended purpose. So please give the bolts a break.
One more gentle reminder about the pool. NEITHER FOOD NOR DRINK IS ALLOWED ANYWHERE INSIDE THE POOL AREA. I know it doesn't say that on the gate signs but there is a sign along the fence inside that clearly states this.
Some people have been treating the community pool like it's their own backyard pool -- minus the cleanup afterward, which the folks have generously left to others.
So, please, be true to your school and be cool to your pool.
