Pool Rules and Regulations

  • We no longer are able to have ADULT SWIM as it is illegal by the Illinois Human Rights Act and the Federal Fair Housing Act. We will have safety Breaks for 10 minutes every hour(all members, children and guests must leave the pool) so guards may have a break.

  • All members and their guests must obey the rules and regulations as set forth by the State of Illinois, County of DuPage and the Village IV Organization when using the Club’s facilities.

  • All persons using the pool do so at their own risk. The Village IV Organization will not assume responsibility for any illness, accident or injury suffered by anyone while in or about the pool area.

Management will notify the members and the Village IV Board of its actions by posting signs. The Board will then review and if agreed, approve the additional rules.
