Member Responsibilities & Rules

Together, we create a safe, clean, and welcoming environment for every family. Please review and follow these club rules and guidelines.

Our Shared Responsibility

As a member-owned private club, governed by members and owners, we strive to create a relaxing and enjoyable environment for families to enjoy the club facilities.

We are all responsible for the beauty, comfortability, and safety of our facility — for making it the GREAT club that it is! Individual members and their families shall be ultimately responsible for their actions and consequences, along with the actions and consequences of their guests, regarding their membership participation at MHS&TC.

While we rely on members using common sense, grace, and courtesy, below are rules posted around the club to remind everyone. Please refer to these rules regarding usage and ensure any guests you bring read and adhere to them as well.

Discipline Policy & Important Forms

Should an issue arise, the Discipline Policy and Procedure will be followed. Upon renewal of a member’s annual membership, the member is stating that they will follow and abide by Club Rules.

Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by a member at least 16 years of age.

Children aged 12–15 who would like to come to the pool without an adult member are required to fill out the Teenage Facility Use Waiver.

By renewing your annual membership, you are stating that you and your family will follow and abide by all Club Rules. A printed copy of any policy can be provided upon request.
