A pristine pool can make staying in your Indianapolis apartment community even better. If you enjoy swimming or relaxing by the pool, the world is your oyster any time during pool hours. You can make friends with neighbors in the sunshine. Swimming is an excellent whole-body workout if you’re aiming to lose weight or stay in shape.

Don’t Forget Your Pool Pass

Ensure you have your method to get into the pool before putting on your new swimwear!. Most apartment communities issue a pool pass, code, or access key to community members. This ensures only paying Residents and a limited number of their friends can get into the pool, not any passers-by. So when you want to swim this summer, stop by the front office at the onset of the season. Always remember, try not to give your pool code with unattended guests and non-Residents.

The Pool Is Better With The Essentials

Don’t waste time having to walk back and forth to your residence, be sure to pack these necessities in a tote bag or backpack. Check out a quick list of essentials for your Indianapolis apartment swimming pool:

  • Fluffy beach towel
  • Eye goggles
  • Plastic water bottle -- no glass please!
  • Waterproof sunscreen
  • Sunglasses
  • Flip flop sandals

Leave desirable items like a purse, wallets, watches, and rings at home. But it’s impractical going out and about without your phone. If you opt to pack it, make sure to stick it under your bag when you take a dip in the waves. This serves to both guard your smart phone from prying eyes and help make sure you don’t leave it when you head home.

Your Indianapolis Apartment Swimming Pool Has Rules For Your Benefit

Pool rules aren’t just to stop your day. Apartment neighborhoods have rules about pool dress, food and drinks, rowdiness, substance use, pool capacity, weather closures, and more. These rules exist to protect you, other guests, and pool equipment. If they weren’t there, someone risk serious injury.

Keep in mind the unspoken rules of common courtesy. Blasting loud music, hogging chairs, and tossing trashing everywhere will annoy fellow residents. Be polite and follow the rules so every pool-goer can experience a great time swimming this summer.

You Need To Manage Your Personal Health And Safety

The majority of apartment communities do not staff lifeguards. Some apartment communities hire lifeguards, but at the end of the day, you’re still responsible for your well-being. Typically, you will probably see a posted announcement that apartment management is not responsible for accidents, injuries, or theft.

Avoiding injury is biggest priority for all trips to the pool.. So wear plenty of sunscreen. Stay hydrated. Wear proper footwear outside of the pool. Don’t swim with an open wound. Stick to your limits as a swimmer. And leave valuables at home. Some communities allow you access to lockers, sunscreen, water bottles and more pool gear during those hot days you spend by the pool.
