Should pool passes continue to be mailed out to residents in May - or - should residents pick them up from the lifeguards when they visit the pool for the first time?

mailed

I think it would be nice to have the passes mailed to the residents. It is not a job for the lifeguards to keep tabs on all of the passes. The lifeguards are very responsible, but this in putting to much on their plates. Mailing the passes directly to the residents that have paid their HOA dues will cut down on the possibility of them getting lost or misplaced.

pool pass distribution

I don't believe the initial distribution of resident pool passes should be the responsibility of the lifeguards. That's not what we pay them to do nor would it be clear who would be liable if there was a problem with this system. I would think this would be a duty of the developer/home owners' assoc. to be undertaken at the time dues are received. Additionally, I don't agree with the practice of relinquishing my family pool pass to the guards on staff upon entering the pool. After one of our passes went ''missing'' last summer from the ''often unsupervised'' container in which it was placed by the guard at the entrance I took it upon myself to always present but never hand-over our remaining pass. As, if that one were to, also, disappear I would have been financially responsible for the replacement.

Distribution of Pool Passes

They should continue to be mailed.
