Pool Rules

Sudden Valley maintains two pools to serve the community: the Main Pool, located next to the Community Center; and the Quiet Pool, located next to the library. The Main Pool is an active environment ideal for families where lifeguards are always present; the Quiet Pool is a smaller and more relaxed area, where people swim at their own risk. There are some shared rules for the use of the pools, and each of these amenities has some rules of its own to ensure safety and enjoyment in the two different environments.
