- This is a private pool with admittance by key card only. It is for the use of Arbor Creek Community residents only. Anyone using this facility without authorization is subject to arrest for trespassing.
- Pool Hours: Lap swimming only 6am to 9am. Regular pool hours 9am to 9pm or as posted. Swimming in our pool after closing may result in a fine and/or loss of pool privileges. This is a serious offense. If people are found in our pool after closing, the police may be called.
- The pool is for the exclusive use of the Arbor Creek Homeowners Association members and their guests. Each household is allowed up to four guests per visit. Only adult residents may bring guests. Such residents will be responsible for their guests' behavior.
- The state of North Carolina stresses that children under 14 years of age MUST be accompanied by an adult, and that adults should not swim alone. For this reason, the Arbor Creek HOA requires that children under age 14 be accompanied by an adult (defined as someone who is 18 years old or older and is the parent or legal guardian, a relative, or baby-sitter). Unsupervised children will be required to leave the pool area and the police may be called, if warranted.
- Children 14-17 years of age who come to the pool without an adult must show their Student ID to verify age before entering the pool area. If you child is home-schooled or does not have a student ID, please contact the board of directors.
- Guest Policy:
~ Homeowners are permitted to bring up to 4 guests per household.
~ Residents other than homeowners who are over 18 years old that live at the home are permitted to bring up to 2 guests.
~ Children between the ages of 14-17 are NOT permitted to bring any guests to the pool.
~ Babysitters will be required to have a signed note from the parents stating that they have permission to bring the children to the pool for the day.
~ Exceptions: Residents may have the need to bring more people from time to time (once or twice per season). When this happens, call a board member or management and let them know. Your name will be left with the lifeguard with the number of guests that you are allowed to bring and you will be admitted. Remember, this is the exception to the rule.
- The pool may be closed due to inclement weather, maintenance or other problems at the discretion of the pool manager, the board of directors or the management company.
- No glass containers of any type are permitted within the pool fence. If broken glass is found in the pool, the pool must be closed, drained, cleaned and refilled. These costs will be charged to the homeowner responsible.
- Running, pushing, wrestling, foul language or other forms of horseplay are prohibited in or around the pool. DISCIPLINE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PARENT OR ADULT IN CHARGE. ANY NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR MAY RESULT IN A LIFEGUARD ASKING A SWIMMER TO GET OUT OF THE POOL FOR A TIME-OUT OR TO POSSIBLY LEAVE THE POOL FOR THE DAY. Excessive negative behavior may result in the complete loss of pool privileges.
- No pets are allowed in or around the pool area.
- Use your discretion when using floatation devices in the pool. Floatation devices should not be used during heavy bather loads. Inflatable boats are not permitted in the pool.

Directors' Notes
Hello Neighbors!!
Summer is almost here and our pool opening is right around the corner! I can't believe that Winter is over and the flowers are blooming. Our pool opens on April 25th and with that comes our new security system. We expect the first few weeks to be a learning process for all but think that this new system will be a great improvement. If you were not able to pick up your key at one of the two pick up times you can contact Charleston Management and they can drop your key in the mail.
The entrance signs are also now complete and soon we'll have the Spring/Summer plantings in. I'm sure you all agree they are a huge improvement over what was previously there.
We had our Annual Board Meeting on April 1st at the Cultural Center. We out grew our clubhouse which is GREAT news and I'd like to thank you for all that came out. At the meeting we had three positions on the Board that were voted on. Myself and Yolanda Lundberg were re-elected back to the Board - Yolanda is serving a one year term and myself a three year term. Also elected was Jen McKeon - Jen will serve a three year term. WELCOME Jen and welcome back all Board members!!
We're looking forward to a great year!!

Pool News
The pool is scheduled to open on April 25, 2009. Pool Professionals will continue to manage the pool this season. Over the winter, the pool took on an updated change, moving from keys to a key-less entry system. This will also give the pool and the clubhouse wireless access. The HOA will provide each home with 1 (one) key card. You may choose to purchase an additional key card or upgrade to a key fob for an additional cost. The key card will be $10 per card and the key fob is $20 each. There will be a limit of 2 (two) per household.
If you have not received your new cards, please contact Dawn Crawford at Charleston Management at 919-847-3003. Please note if you are 60 days or more past due with your HOA dues, your key access will be terminated until dues are caught up.
