Inclement Weather Pool Closure Policy
For the safety of our residents and our lifeguards, Sweetwater Pools enforces the below policy:
In the event of thunder and lightening, the pool will close for 30 minutes. Ex: the pool closes at 5:00pm due to thunder and/or lightening, the pool will not re-open until 5:30pm. If during that time at 5:15pm there is another thunder or lightening strike, the clock restarts and the pool will not re-open until 5:45pm.
If it is raining and there is no thunder or lightening however the rain prevents the lifeguards from seeing the bottom of the pool, the pool will close.
Lastly, the pool will close if there is a danger to lifeguards, either in transportation or remaining onsite.

The Aliana pools are managed by Sweetwater Pools and the lifeguards are required by the HOA to enforce the rules and maintain the safety of these amenities for all the residents of our community. In performing this important safety responsibility, the lifeguards are authorized to take actions necessary to maintain safety and order, including using “time-outs” of 5 minutes (1st offense) to 10 minutes (2nd offense) and for repeat rule offenders the lifeguards are authorized to expel an individual from the pool for the remainder of the day. Please understand and teach your children that the lifeguards are the ultimate authority at the pool, and they should respect that authority. It is important that our residents have fun at the pool, but it is equally important that this be a safe experience.
Thank you,
Aliana HOA Board
