Broomall’s Lake Country Club 2015 Broomall’s Lake Country Club Vinnie’s Place at Broomall’s Lake Coming Soon Menu Suggestions Welcomed! Vinnie’s Place Media PA, 19063 Broomall’s Lake Country Club Greetings Members: A hearty welcome to the returning members and any new members to the 2015 season. We have lots of new, interactive ideas for members young and old during the upcoming summer months. Here’s hoping the weather cooperates! We’ve had a lot of positive feedback regarding the social offerings we had in 2014. Stay tuned for announcements on our 2015 social calendar. As some of you may be aware, BLCC is launching our new, improved website for 2015. We will have events, swim team schedules and results, daily calendar and more available on the website. Contact us via the website if there is anything you feel would be helpful or of interest. It is unfortunate that this bears mentioning, but the front gate and YMCA management will have increased vigilance in keeping unauthorized persons from entering the pool area via back woods and trails. We will be fencing in the areas behind the snack bar due to repeated offenders ‘skipping the gate’ and entering unlawfully. Anyone promoting or participating in unlawful entry to the pool will be stripped of membership without refund. Please help keep our club operating in the best interest of ALL members. Guest passes will still be available at the front entrance. We’d like to give a warm BLCC welcome to Vinnie’s Place as our new snack bar caterer. They have some new ideas regarding tasty and healthy options they will bring to the table, rest assured we’ve heard your ‘water ice’ concerns! Thanks to all our loyal members who volunteer with the swim team and help to keep up the maintenance of the club. Remember this is your club and we all need to pitch in to keep it clean and safe for use of members and guests. Here’s to a great 2015 season and SEE YOU AT THE POOL!

The risks include, among other things: muscular strains and sprains; cardiac complications; accidental drowning; slips and falls getting in and out of the pool and around the pool facility.

My participation in this activity is purely voluntary, and I elect to participate in spite of the risks. 3.

Over the years, through dedicated teamwork, the BLCC Dolphin Swim Team has tripled in size and spirit. Coaches, swimmers and parents alike make this team truly special and we have lots of fun. The only requirement to join is the ability to swim one length of the pool, freestyle, without stopping. There are over 100 kids on the team ranging in age from 5 to 18, representing all swim levels, from record holders to beginners. There is a place for everyone! Winning is terrific but the BLCC swim team is committed to developing our young swimmers into confident, conscientious individuals for future generations to come. Dolphin Swim Team Fast Facts: • All BLCC members, ages 5-18 are encouraged to join! The only requirement is the ability to swim one lap of freestyle without stopping. • Team practices start the first week in June, after school, with regular practices starting when school ends, in mid-June.

BLCC procedures & equipment for insuring quality water. • State of the art automatic equipment - for adding & monitoring of chemicals for the water is installed in the pump room. • A very expensive “clear water system”- to add additional protection to the chlorine treated water used to meet and exceed state requirements installed and doing a great job. For information on web site about system, contact Joe Romano, resident manager for web site. • As water passes through the filtering process, electrodes installed in the pipes destroy bacteria in the water. This system is not required by the state but installed by blcc to add extra protection for pool water. “Clear water system” is installed in a lot of pools in the usa & other countries but limited use in our immediate area because of the high cost of installing the system. • Independent laboratory “quality control” is under contract with blcc to test water & review test records each week to make sure it is safe & meets all the requirements for safe pool water. These reports go to media health department with copies to blcc joe romano, cpo resident manager. • Health departments: the media health department and state inspect the pools and facilities. • Special automatic vacuum cleaners: put in the pools each night and spend 14 hours cleaning pools. • Hourly tests of the water: conducted to check the amount of chemicals in the water so immediate adjustments can be made by joe romano, cpo, if they do not meet the required state standards. • Certified pool operator (cpo): joe romano resident manager has attended courses and obtained certification as a cpo and has all the qualifications necessary to maintain the water at safe levels for swimming. Joe is backed up by ymca cpo personnel. Contact Joe Romano if you would like a tour of the pump room where the water goes through the cleaning and adding of chemicals process. 26 Broomall’s Lake Country Club How members and guests can help ensure safe and sanitary operation of the pool : Please come to the pool clean. Take a shower before entering the pools. Non-toilet trained individuals prohibited (Without exception) from entering the big pool. Individuals wearing diapers in the baby pool must also wear vinyl protective pants even when wearing leak proof diapers. Contact pool office to see if they have any if you need to purchase Vinyl pants or go to local store.

If you observe any unhygienic health situations Call it to the attention of the pool manager Emergency Action What happens if any human waste appears in pools? Pools are immediately closed and not reopened until the water is super chlorinated. Pool closing could be 24 to 48 hours or more until the water has been tested and declared safe for use.
