Few things look more inviting than a glistening blue pool on a sweltering summer evening. If you’re lucky enough to reside in an apartment community in Indianapolis that grants access to this exquisite addition, you should make the most of the chance. To make the most of your pool day, here are the premiere points to know for your apartment swimming pool in Indianapolis.

A Swimming Pool Will Elevate Your Apartment Living Experience

A beautiful pool does make life in your Indianapolis apartment community even more enjoyable. If you enjoy swimming or sunbathing by the pool, you’re free to enjoy any time during pool hours. You can make friends with neighbors at the pool. Swimming is an excellent whole-body workout if you’re trying to drop some weight or stay in shape. Let’s not forget that a pool brings a classy air to any apartment space..

Remember Your Pool Pass

Be sure you have the means to unlock the pool prior to putting on your new swimwear!. Most apartment neighborhoods give out a pool pass, code, or access key to community members. This ensures only paying Residents and a handful of their guests can use the pool, not the general public. So when you want to swim this summer, stop by the front office at the onset of the pool season. And remember, please refrain from sharing your pool pass with unattended guests and non-Residents.

The Swimming Pool Is Better With These Things

Avoid having to walk back and forth to your residence, don’t forget to tuck these essentials in a hand bag or backpack. Check out a quick list of must-haves for your Indianapolis apartment swimming pool:

  • Large beach towel
  • Swimming goggles
  • Water tumbler -- no glass please!
  • Waterproof sunscreen
  • Sunglasses
  • Flip flop sandals

Leave snatchable things like a purse, wallets, watches, and rings at your apartment. But it’s impractical going out and about without your phone. If you choose to grab it, make sure to hide it under your bag when you dive into the pool. This serves to both guard your smart phone from intrusive eyes and ensure you don’t leave it when you head home.

Your Indianapolis Apartment Swimming Pool Has Rules -- Follow Them

Pool rules aren’t just to limit your fun. Apartment communities have rules about pool dress, food and drinks, rowdiness, substance use, pool capacity, weather closures, and others. These rules are in place to protect you, other guests, and pool property. In their absence, people could experience serious injury.

And don’t forget the unwritten rules of common courtesy. Playing loud music, stealing chairs, and littering will annoy fellow residents. Be accommodating and stick to the rules so everyone can enjoy a fun time in the water this summer.

You Are Responsible For Your Personal Health And Safety

Most apartment neighborhoods do not staff lifeguards. A few apartment communities staff lifeguards, but at the end of the day, you’re still responsible for your safety. In fact, you can see a posted poster that community management is not liable for accidents, injuries, or lost property.

Safety is priority number 1 for each trip to the pool.. Apply lots of sunscreen. Drink liquids. Put on proper footwear around the pool. Avoid the water with a fresh wound. Know your limits as a swimmer. And leave valuables at home. Some neighborhoods will provide you with lockers, sunscreen, water bottles and more pool gear during those summer afternoons you spend by the pool.
