Carrington Swim and Racquet Club Pool Rules

To Carrington POA Residents & Swim and Racquet Club Members: 

Membership Access

Each family will receive one invitation to the primary email address to download the pool/tennis gates mobile access app on their phone. If you need another email registered to your membership, contact us via email with this request.  Along with giving you access into the tennis courts 24/7, as well as the pool during normal open swim hours (when life guard present) and for off hours adult swimming/lap exercise, your mobile access app will act as your family’s identification that you are a Carrington member, have completed the Waiver, and have the right to use the neighborhood amenities.   If you do not have your phone with downloaded mobile access app with you, you will not have access to the pool and/or tennis courts.    Please understand that ensuring our neighborhood facilities are properly being utilized by ONLY Carrington homeowners and outside members is very important from a liability perspective and something your Carrington Board takes very seriously.
