Pool SAFETY & COURTESY Rules

  • Follow all instructions from lifeguards, pool employees, or Karns Lions Club members. If you refuse to follow instructions, you may be asked to leave (no refund). 
  • Outside food and drink is allowed. 
  • NO glass or cans. Glass shatters and cuts bare feet. Pull top tabs from cans cut feet and also end up in our skimmers. Flattened cans in grass cut bare feet. Cans left in grass may be missed and mowed over, spraying the area with metal shards. Again, bare feet. 
  • No alcohol. No exceptions. 
  • We reserve the right to check all coolers for compliance with rules. 
  • Small doughnut floats allowed up to 3 feet in diameter (you may use ours for no cost). No oversize or lounge floats (mesh loungers included) - they present a safety hazard for children swimming underwater and obstruct lifeguard views.  Baby and toddler floats are allowed, with the exception of baby neck ring floats. Float usage may be limited at the discretion of pool managers or lifeguards on crowded days.  
  • Only 1 person on each diving board at a time. 
  • Only one bounce on board. 
  • You may jump or dive off the board only after previous person has reached the edge of the pool. 
  • Adults may not catch children from diving board.
  • Exit the deep end after your turn on the board. No hanging out in the deep end.  No sitting on the edges of deep end. This is a health code regulation. 
  • No hanging on divider ropes. 
  • No swimmies (water wings) on diving board or slides. You may use life jacket with a crotch safety strap to prevent pulling over head.  Puddle jumpers that buckle across chest OK on slide only (not diving board).
  • No goggles when using the slide or diving board. 
  • No chicken fight games with anyone sitting on your shoulders. 
  • No running or horseplay.
  • No loud music. 
  • No swearing or cursing.
  • Ensure the gate to the splash pad area closes after entry or exit.
  • Swimwear must be appropriate for a family pool. 
  • No smoking/vaping inside the pool area. There is a designated smoking spot in front of the building. 
  • The pool will be evacuated if thunder or lightning are detected nearby and will remain closed for 30 minutes after the last detection. Did you know electrical charges can linger in clouds for 30 minutes? Lightening can also travel up to 25 miles. It isn't safe to remain in open spaces.  It's safest to  shelter indoors or in a vehicle. The playground is also not safe when lightening is nearby.
  • Do not urinate or defecate in the pool. Swim diapers are required for those who need them and are available for purchase at the concession stand.
  • Only ADA service animals are permitted within the pool area. No emotional support animals.
  • Picnic tables are to be shared and can't be claimed for birthday parties or as a place to keep your stuff all day preventing access to other while you're in the water. 
  • For birthday parties during regular hours, feel free to set up a blanket or your own canopy (maximum 10x10, 1 per group) in a grassy area along the fence. A pergola with tables can be reserved for a fee of $75. 
  • Clean up after yourself. Don't leave trash on the ground.
