12.          Lifeguards will not be wearing masks; other pool staff while on the deck, in the guard house or checking in members will be wearing masks when they are unable to practice social distancing.

We know our HEBT Members will take the State guidelines and these rules seriously, as a failure to comply could cause the pool to lose its permit and close for the season.   However, upon a first violation, the Member will be asked to leave the pool.   Upon a second violation, the Member’s membership will be revoked for the season without refund.

The HEBT Board reserves the right to change the rules as may be necessary to comply with future modifications to the State guidelines or at the instruction of the DuPage County Health Department.
