Once you have a good set of rules in place, post them somewhere visual. Remind your residents of them prior to opening day. Talk to your lifeguard about making sure they are followed and the procedure for reporting any violators. Setting up a thorough set of rules and communicating them will help to reduce a community’s liability and increase the safety of it’s residents. The managers and board members have a responsibility to make sure that the pool is well taken care of and safe.

Please remember to keep your seminar completion certificates in a safe place. These certificates are distributed at the end of each CAI‑NJ seminar. This is proof that you attended and completed the seminar. You may need to reference the certificate in the future and CAI-NJ does not keep track of each member’s attendance record. Community manag- ers will definitely need the certificates to obtain credit for continuing education towards their designations.
