Access and Liability Waiver

Long Point Property Owners' Association
Access & Liability Information

Dear Long Point Homeowners,

The Long Point pool area and tennis courts have an access system installed for security and ease of use. The gates are opened with magnetic fobs. These fobs have several features that will enable us to provide secure access to our facility and are designed to fit on your keychain or lanyard. Your assigned fobs are linked to your household, so please do not share them with others. Each household in good standing with HOA dues and with zero active covenant violations originally received two fobs. Additional fobs can be purchased for $20 each.

To have access to these areas, you must have a signed waiver on file. The waiver can be completed online. It is preferred that these be sent electronically via this website or you can download, sign, scan, and email it to longpointpoa@gmail.com, or turn originals in at the gatehouse.

It is IMPORTANT to note: you will only be allowed access to the common areas if you sign and return the waiver. Those under 18 may not be in the pool area during unguarded hours without a parent or guardian present.

Sincerely,

The Long Point Property Owners' Board of Directors

Community Areas are the Pool area, including pavilion, tennis courts, playground and dock area. Hours for access to the pool area are 6:00 am - 10:00 pm. All other areas are not to be accessed after dark.

If your HOA dues are unpaid or you have uncorrected violations of covenant issues, you do not have the right to use the amenities and your key fob access will be stopped after notification. Once your account is paid in full, your access will be restored.

Guarded Pool Schedule:

First weekend in May until Memorial Day: Saturday & Sunday: 12:00 pm - 8:00 pm

IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY AT THE POOL, DIAL 911 FROM THE POOL PHONE IMMEDIATELY!

By order of Chatham County Health Department all members and guests must adhere to the pool rules. If a violation is cited, it may cause the pool to close for an extended period of time and may result in suspension of privileges.

NO GLASS CONTAINERS ALLOWED IN THE POOL OR DECK AREA! Broken glass in the pool may cause the pool to close for as long as a week. The homeowner responsible may incur costs (generally $1,000+) associated with the draining and re-filling of the pool.
THE DOOR & GATES TO THE POOL AREA MUST REMAIN CLOSED AT ALL TIMES. Do not prop the door open in any way! This poses a very real danger to our young residents. Do not allow someone who does not have a fob. Your fob access will be turned off if you do not pay your HOA assessments ("dues"). SWIMMING AFTER DARK IS NOT PERMITED.
PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON THE PREMISES.
Training pants with snug-fitting rubber pants or the newly designed swim diapers are required for any infant/child not toilet trained. "Swim diapers" are not sufficient. Fecal contamination will cause the pool to close for 24 hours while water treatment is conducted. The association reserves the right to charge owners responsible for the cost of water treatment and clean up.

The following RULES & REGULATIONS are for the protection of the community and to help ensure that every family enjoys the common areas. Please act in a way that will not negatively impact your neighbors' time in the common areas.

Respect other residents and their guests. If something dangerous or disturbing is occurring, please use common sense. Not all behaviors that should be avoided at the pool can be written here. Board members, community management and pool management company staff (lifeguards) have the right to ask anyone to leave the pool at any time at their sole discretion.
Children under 12 must be accompanied by an authorized person 18 years or older. During unguarded hours, those under 18 may not be in the pool area without a parent present, and that parent must have a signed waiver on file with the HOA. All adult household members must be registered using the HOA form.
Guests must be accompanied by a homeowner. The homeowner is responsible for the conduct of their guests. You must limit the number of guests to 5 per visit (including all guests, even children and those who will not be swimming) during guarded hours. If you see people inside the pool area that are not residents of Long Point and are not accompanied by a resident, please notify the lifeguard or contact police if during unguarded hours. THIS MEANS POOL PARTIES ARE NOT PERMITTED AT LONG POINT WITHOUT FORMS REQUESTING A PARTY AND PAYMENT FOR RENTAL AND/OR LIFEGUARDS!
RULES OF CONDUCT FOR POOL AND POOL AREA:
- ABIDE BY ALL LIFEGUARD/ATTENDANT INSTRUCTIONS WHETHER LISTED OR UNLISTED ON THESE RULES!
- ABSOLUTELY NO DIVING!

Please properly dispose of all trash and leave the pool area clean. In case of spills on the tables or pool deck, please wash down area to keep insects and stains at a minimum.
Umbrellas must be closed before you leave the area. Strong gusts of wind may cause damage to the umbrellas.
The final ten minutes of every hour (including before closing) will be designated as adult or adults with infants swim. Persons under the age of 18 must exit the pool at this time.
Intoxicated person will be asked to leave by the lifeguard or the police.

Patrons must vacate pool at first sound of thunder or first sight of lightning. 30 minutes must pass after the last sound of thunder or lightning strike before patrons may re-enter the pool area.

In consideration of my use of the Long Point Swimming Pool facilities, tennis courts, playground, and dock area I agree to indemnify, defend, and save and hold all members of the Long Point Property Owners Association (“HOA”), Board of Directors, the association’s contracted pool management company, and their consultants, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers of each of them harmless from and against any and all damage, injury, liability, loss, cost (including but not limited to attorney fees and court costs) or claims arising out of or related to my use of The Long Point community areas including the swimming pool and facilities, playground, tennis courts, and dock area. I am aware that swimming and other pool activities are vigorous and can involve severe cardiovascular stress. I understand that swimming and other pool activities involve certain risks, including but not limited to death. In addition, I understand that participation in swimming pool use involves activities incidental thereto, including, but not limited to, the possible reckless conduct of other participants. All stresses and hazards associated with this activity cannot be foreseen. I will voluntarily use pool facilities with knowledge of the danger involved and hereby agree to accept any and all risks of property damage, personal injury, or death. I have a personal responsibility to follow any safety rules and procedures established by the Long Point Property Owners Association or the contracted pool company that is associated normally with swimming and other pool use activities. I understand that this waiver is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of Georgia, and I agree that if any portion is held invalid, the remainder of the waiver will continue in full legal force and effect. I further agree that the venue for any legal proceedings shall be in the State of Georgia. I am at least 18 years of age, I affirm that I am signing this agreement solely and freely. I am giving up legal rights and/or remedies which may be available to me for the ordinary negligence of any of the parties listed above. I understand that this agreement is a binding legal document.

The Long Point pool is a SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK facility and lifeguard services are not provided at all times. Swimming under this waiver is also subject to all conditions as described in the Pool Rules & Regulations. By signing this waiver, I have read, fully understand, and am responsible for complying with the Pool Rules & Regulations and schedule.

Those under 18 may not be in the pool area during unguarded hours without a parent or guardian present. IMPORTANT: If any minor from your household is caught using the pool without a parent or guardian present during unguarded hours all pool privileges can be revoked for the entire household for 30 days or more.

I am a member in good standing with the HOA for use of the swimming facilities and I am age 18 or older. My assessments are paid in full.

I am swimming totally at my own risk and will be solely financially responsible for any injuries or disabilities suffered while swimming

I will keep my fob safe from access from unauthorized users. The hours of 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM are reserved for lap swimming and no user shall interfere with lap swimmers during those hours.

I understand that any damage caused by myself, family member, or guest will be my financial responsibility to repair.
