Before you head to The Dutch to take a dip in the pool or hang with friends, read through this quick refresher of dos and don’ts when spending time at The Dutch.
Resident access pass
So you have your resident mobile access pass, but have you read through the Blossom Rock Resident Agreement? You’ll want to take a few minutes to scroll through this document since any violation of terms could mean a deactivation of your passes. Plus, it’s a pretty great resource if you have questions about what is and isn’t permitted when it comes to Blossom Rock amenities.
Two mobile access passes are issued per Blossom Rock household, but you have the option to buy additional if needed. You’ll want to make sure your residential association dues are paid in full and on time — otherwise, your mobile pass could be suspended until the assessments are paid in full.
Oh, and if you lease your Blossom Rock home, you automatically transfer amenity rights to the tenant(s) living in your home. Be sure to fill out the tenant registration form each time a new tenant signs a lease.
Guest count
Each Blossom Rock household may host up to four non-resident guests at The Dutch (kids count, too). This helps manage crowd size and keep amenity usage enjoyable for all residents.
Age limits
Okay, this is an important one. To ensure the safety of all residents and guests, children younger than 14 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult (18 years or older) at all times. Those older than 14 but not quite 18 may not supervise younger siblings or host their non-resident friends.
The Dutch is not a licensed child care facility and the staff is not responsible for supervising younger guests.
Dress code
When it comes to the pool, proper swimwear is a must. That means street clothes or clothing not specifically designed for swimming are not permitted. Here’s why: regular clothes have detergents, residue, and bodily fluids that can affect the cleanliness and chemistry of the water.
If you’re headed inside The Dutch after a dip in the pool, make sure you wear clothes — tops and bottoms — to cover up your swimsuit. Shoes are required inside, too. Please dry off thoroughly to help avoid slips and falls indoors.
Tots who aren’t potty-trained must wear a swim diaper and rubber and/or plastic pants in the pool. It’s also a good idea to have children take frequent restroom breaks to avoid accidents in the pool.
Clean up after yourself
The Dutch is a shared space for all residents to enjoy, and a little care goes a long way. Please take a moment to clean up after yourself when using the clubhouse — toss your trash, wipe down tables, and tidy up any shared areas before you leave. There’s no full-time cleaning crew on site, so your help keeps The Dutch looking its best for the next neighbor who stops by.
Pets
We love our four-legged friends, but The Dutch Clubhouse and Pool Pavilion are pet-free zones — for health and safety reasons, no dogs or other pets are permitted inside the building or around the pool (with the exception of service animals). Please plan accordingly and leave pets at home when heading to The Dutch.
Smoking & vaping
The Dutch is a smoke and vape free amenity. Please be considerate of your fellow neighbors.
Food & drink
While all that swimming may leave you hungry, save your snacking for the lounge chair when you’re in the pool area. Food, candy, gum, and beverages are not permitted at any time within the pool and cannot be within 4 feet of the water’s edge. Besides being a Pinal County Environmental Health Code, this also helps keep the pool water clean and prevents tripping hazards from any food or beverages sitting by the pool’s edge.
No glass. No glass. No glass! This is a biggie, because it’s also a county rule. So double check your pool bag and make sure you have plastic only. No one wants an injury—or a pool shutdown to clean up glass. And yes, the county does do surprise inspections!
Safe swimming
There is no lifeguard on duty at the Blossom Rock community pool, so please swim at your own risk. Since there is no lifeguard present, operation of the pool lift is the responsibility of the user and his or her caregiver.
If you want your youngster to wear a flotation device while in the water, it must be a US Coast Guard approved Type I, II, or III personal flotation device (translation: no water wings). Need more details? Feel free to check with an ambassador for further help.
It’s also important to keep personal pool toys at home. Why do we have this rule? Personal pool toys can carry bacteria and other germs that can affect the health and safety of your neighbors. That means that kick boards, fun noodles, footballs, basketballs, water guns, water balloons, rafts, and other flotation devices need to stay at home for use in your own pool. Plus, if the pool is cluttered with toys, it reduces visibility and creates a potentially unsafe situation for swimmers.
Amenity access
Enter and exit the facility, including the pool, through the main entrance double doors. Upon entry you’ll be welcomed by an Blossom Rock ambassador. Be sure to have your mobile access pass ready; you’ll need it to check in.
Note: other gates around the pool are for emergency exits only.
Blossom Rock Ambassadors

They may also kindly ask that you move your water bottles away from the edge of the pool or dry off before heading inside.
Ambassadors are on duty to help you have an enjoyable and safe experience when visiting the pool. Please show respect to our ambassadors — you never know when they might surprise you with an ice pop!
