Health Club Etiquette Reminders
August 2, 2024
The Health Club Commission would like to share a few reminders on Health Club etiquette.
Please remember to shower before you enter the pool.
The purpose of showering with soap before getting in the pool is to remove matter off of the body so that it does not enter the pool. Perspiration, body lotion, oils, make-up, and traces of feces and urine contaminate a swimming pool. When these organic compounds mix with the chlorinated pool water, a reaction occurs. The result is a less healthy pool that will take on a much stronger smell of chlorine. When a pool is well-managed and swimmers shower before getting in, the water doesn’t have a strong chemical smell. (ref: teampoolworks.com)
Please remember to clean equipment after use.
We have had complaints of members not wiping down cardio equipment or benches after use. Please be courteous and clean equipment after exercising.
Please remember that wearing your swimsuit and bathrobe is not allowed in the front passenger elevators.
Please use the service elevators. And regardless, please be appropriately clothed to avoid discomfort of other passengers.
Thank you.
