ALL RULES
MUST BE READ AND PRACTICED. RIGID ENFORCEMENT OF THE
RULES IS NECESSARY FOR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF
EVERYONE.
Membership
1. TCRC is a family club and, as members of one big
family, each member should strive to respect the rights
and privileges of the other. These rules, therefore, do
not attempt to instruct our members in matters of normal
respectable conduct, but are intended to secure the
maximum safety and enjoyment of our facilities.
2. Members are expected to abide by and cooperate with
the employees' decisions. Members are not permitted to
interfere with or reprimand employees of the Club. If
a difference of opinion should arise, the member should
immediately advise the manager on duty. If the member
is dissatisfied with the resolution of the difference of
opinion, the member should notify the Operations
Committee in writing.
3. Membership fees must be paid in accordance with the
regulations set forth by the Board of Directors.
4. None of the Club's facilities may be used prior to
8:00 AM or after 10:30 PM. This is in accordance with
our use permit. Any violation of this rule may result
in suspension or expulsion.
5. In order to maintain a harmonious relationship with
our neighbors, members and guests must not trespass on
adjoining property.
6. The Club will not be responsible for any money or
property losses sustained by members or their guests.
ANYONE FOUND RESPONSIBLE FOR VANDALISM OR THEFT OF MONEY
OR PERSONAL PROPERTY SHALL BE EXPELLED. ALL DUES, FEES,
CHARGES AND PRIVILEGES SHALL BE FORFEITED. The offender
may request re-instatement of privileges by the Board of
Directors no sooner than the following season.
7. Possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages in
the pool enclosure or the picnic, tennis or volleyball
pavilions is at the discretion of the manager on duty
with Board of Director's approval. All alcoholic
beverages must be in covered cans, plastic cups or paper
cups. ALL GLASS CONTAINERS ARE PROHIBITED. Possession
or use of alcoholic beverages elsewhere on the Club's
property is prohibited, unless at a Club function
approved by the Board of Directors.
8. Three Chopt Recreation Club is a smoke-free zone
except for the grassy area directly behind the
concession stand where a waste disposal container is
provided.
9. Members are responsible for the conduct of their
guests and should advise them of all rules and
regulations.
10. Appropriate swimsuits are required. No cut-off
shorts, Brazilian cut and/or thong swimsuits are
allowed.
11. GUESTS- All guests must be registered at the front
gate immediately upon arrival.
12. When a family member is living on his own and no
longer domiciled with the member, he loses his status as
a family member of the Club.
Operations
13. All facilities of the club are under the direct
supervision of the Club Manager and Assistant Club
Manager. Lifeguards have been instructed to enforce
all rules and regulations and are authorized to suspend
any or all Club privileges of anyone who violates the
rules or for conduct that, in the Lifeguard's opinion,
is not in the best interest of the club.
14. Members are requested to instruct their children
and their guests' children in personal hygiene.
Instruct them to use the restroom. Infants must be
dressed in bathing suits with appropriate swim diapers
(available for sale at the front desk) or training
pants/suits with vinyl lining to prevent unpleasant
accidents in the pools. Swim diapers can be found at
most discount stores, grocery stores or drug stores.
15. Babies' diapers should be changed in the
restroom. When disposing of soiled diapers, use the
Diaper Genies provided. This is a health issue and
will be strictly enforced.
16. Members are urged to have medical checkups and
watch their health carefully during swimming season.
One should not use the pool if he has a bad cold or
other contagious condition. The lifeguards are
instructed to bar anyone form the pool whose physical
condition is, in the guard's opinion, contrary to the
best interest of the Club. Any person with serious
health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes,
epilepsy, and fainting spells, are requested to make
such conditions known to the manager on duty.
Note: The rule above does not imply that the Club or
lifeguard assumes any responsibility for the health or
physical condition of the members or their guests.
17. The pool shall be used only when the lifeguards
are on duty during scheduled hours.
18. Cups, wrappers and refuse must be placed in the
trash containers provided. No glass containers are
permitted on the property.
19. All members must shower before going into the
pool.

and rough play is prohibited inside the pool enclosure.
ABSOLUTELY no horseplay, shouting, or rough play is
permitted.
21. Children under 8 years of age and children using
the wading pool area must be accompanied by an adult or
responsible person who is at least 12 years old and to
whom the parent/guardian has delegated this
responsibility while on Club property. Unaccompanied
children 8 and over must demonstrate swimming ability to
management upon request.
Note: The purpose of the above rule is to provide
safety for the child and is interpreted to mean that the
adult or responsible person must be in close proximity
with the child while inside the pool enclosure when the
child is inside the pool enclosure.
22. Coast Guard approved flotation devices may be worn
by a child in the lower pool when accompanied by an
adult in the pool; no inner tubes, toys or balls are

emergency or at the discretion of the Lifeguard. The
signal for this is three blasts on the lifeguard's
whistle.
25. Lanes for swimming laps are scheduled so that you
can be assured of the time. See posted lap lane times

mainly for use in case of an emergency. All calls must
be limited to 3 minutes. Avoid unnecessary calls. Over
use of the phone by an individual may result in loss of
phone privilege.

are prohibited from making purchases at the Club's
concession stand.
