A NOTE FROM THE
LIFEGUARDS
 No
back flips or any type of backwards jumps
from the diving board.
Lots of times people try back flips without really knowing what they
are doing and they can get hurt very easily. Lifeguards will not
allow this behavior at the Club Royal Pool. We cannot afford for
anyone to have a back injury at our pool. This rule is consistent
with the YMCA and other community pools in our area.
Safety First!!
