Kuester Management Group Outlines Tips for Preparing for Pool Season in the HOA

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - April 28, 2023 - PRLog -- One of the perks of living in an HOA is often having a community pool just for HOA members and their guests. The pool can become a popular gathering place as temperatures rise and homeowners are looking to cool down and have fun. Kuester Management Group has released a statement to the press regarding ways the association can prepare before the pool opens for the summer season.

"Now is the time to get ready for pool season and ensure that all equipment is in good shape, safety measures are in place, and homeowners understand rules and expectations," says Bryan Kuester, President of Kuester Management Group. "Having a community pool is a major attraction for HOA members, but it also comes with a lot of responsibility."

Have a professional come out and inspect the pool, service any equipment and pumps, and make sure that everything is in good working order, says Kuester. Schedule a thorough cleaning and leave enough time to get the chemical balance just right to create a safer swimming environment. Don't forget to inspect the pool deck as well for any potential hazards or concerns.

The HOA should also review all of its safety policies and procedures. Make sure that rules are fair and enforceable, and send out reminders to homeowners so they know what to expect. If keycards or passcodes are required to enter the pool area, let members know how to gain this access so they are ready to go when the pool officially opens. Inspect first aid kids, AED machines, life preservers, and other equipment to verify they are up to code and ready for use. If using lifeguards, make sure that all personnel are hired, trained, and have necessary licenses or certifications.

"It can be a good idea for the HOA to review its insurance coverage to ensure that it is up-to-date and fits the association's needs," says Kuester. "Double-check with the HOA's legal team as well to minimize liability and put proper safety measures in place."

Kuester Management Group can help HOAs prepare for pool season and put proper checks, maintenance, and procedures in place to create a safer, more enjoyable environment.
