The PCSA pool by-laws were created to ensure a safe and friendly environment for all pool members and guests. We strongly encourage all pool members to read and become familiar with these by-laws.
The following is only a brief highlight of the by-laws:

- Member and Guest Responsibilities:
- No person will be allowed in the pool enclosure until all financial obligations have been met.
- Members and guests are responsible for their children. Lifeguards must be attentive to pool safety and cannot be babysitters.
- All persons using the pool do so at their own risk. The swimming pool and the PCSA are not responsible for any accident or injury in connection with such use.
- The cost of any damage to pool property will be charged to the responsible pool member.
- Swimming Pool Committee Powers and Duties:
- The pool committee provides oversight and administers penalties for violations of the swimming pool rules. Penalties determined by the committee may include suspension of pool use and assessment of damage fees.
- Pool Personnel:
- If, in the pool chair’s opinion, any person is acting in such a manner as to endanger his/her own, or any other person’s safe enjoyment of the pool, the pool chair or lifeguard may eject such persons immediately.
- Members having complaints should register such complaints with the pool chair or a member of the pool committee.
- The pool chair may, at his/her discretion, close the pool at any time due to breakdown, weather, or other operational difficulties.
- Guest Policy:
- Pool members must accompany their guests and must register them upon entering the pool. Any guest who is admitted under fraudulent circumstances will not be admitted to the pool for the remainder of the season. In addition, any member who signs in an unauthorized guest will be suspended from the pool for 10 days for the 1st offense and suspended for the season for the 2nd offense.
