1) A healthy adult should not stay in the hot tub any longer than 20 minutes with the temperature being between 102 and 104 degrees. Higher temperatures or longer immersions can bring on heat stroke.

2) The body normally sweats to shed heat and regulate body temperature. You should always keep part of the upper body above the water so that sweat can evaporate. When the body cannot sweat, more blood is diverted from the brain to the capillaries just under the skin to dilate these vessels and speed up the sweating process. This results in less oxygen being delivered to the brain and the heart being forced to pump faster which can cause fainting or fatigue and ultimately, heat stroke.

3) Use of alcohol or drugs while in a hot tub can also affect the heart regulating mechanisms in the brain, bringing on heat stroke.

4) Prolonged immersion in hot temperatures has also been known to cause irreversible damage to the liver and kidneys.

5) After using the hot tub, you should replace the fluids lost by the body which will help dispel the tired feeling caused by the heat.

6) Children’s body temperatures should not be raised above the normal 98.6 degrees. Since the hot tub is set at between 100 and 104 degrees, use by children under the age of 19 is prohibited.

In an effort to ensure members are given priority with regards to parking availability, Driftwood will be issuing parking passes for the 2025 season. Members must follow directions from Valet Staff and/or Driftwood Staff.

 

Each family will be issued one primary parking pass decal per family as well as one secondary parking pass decal per family. These passes will be color coded decals that will need to be displayed on the windshield. We recommend that you place your primary pass on the vehicle that is most used for your family.

 

On days when parking rules are in effect, parking passes may be limited (primary/secondary). Although your primary parking pass will always be available, we still strongly urge all our members to car pool and arrive at the club early on weekends, special club events, and on holidays. Parking will always be first come first serve for our members. Your primary parking pass will not guarantee you parking in the event the lot is full with member cars that have primary pass decals. Guest parking may or may not be permitted on these days. You will be able to check whether parking rules are in effect at a minimum of the day before these rules go into effect (as well as guest parking restrictions) by checking our website at www.driftwoodcc.com.

 

Driftwood has the right to place a violation on a vehicle that has disregarding the parking rules in effect for any given day. Parking violations will result in revoked parking privileges.

 

1. There will be no self-parking for members and/or guests in the overflow lot. All vehicles in overflow must be parked by Valet. Any vehicle parked in overflow by a member or guest will be towed immediately.

2. Members will be notified when parking passes become available for pick up prior to the start of the season. Parking passes must be picked up by the date specified in said email. We cannot allow you to park in our lots prior to you picking up your parking pass.

3. Members must display parking pass decal on windshield of vehicle at all times. No parking for vehicles without decals when parking rules are in effect. There will be no exceptions.

 

Both the pools and the ocean will be guarded during those times when the facilities are open for swimming. There is no swimming when a lifeguard is not present. Lifeguards will be distinguishable by the red suits and outerwear of their uniform. Members are asked not to distract a lifeguard from his/her duties unless their assistance is needed for professional reasons. Remember, guards are present at the club to keep swimmers safe; not for socializing, giving swimming instruction, or other activities not specifically set forth in their employee manual. All members are to pay strict attention to the guards and to follow their directions explicitly. A lifeguard’s training is an on-going process at Driftwood. If an incident has occurred and a guard asks that you go to the office and let the manager know what has happened, please do so without delay. Your help in such times will be greatly appreciated. The rescue equipment placed around the pools and near the ocean are not toys and should not be touched or handled by members. No one is allowed on lifeguard stands except for guards on duty.

 

Lifeguards are certified in First Aid and CPR, and are the first line of defense when an accident or injury occurs. Members are asked to cooperate with their instructions and assist if asked. Notify the main office as soon as possible when an accident or injury occurs. First aid supplies are located in boxes at each lifeguard stand, at the main office and in the Fitness Center. Members are urged to stay calm in the event of an emergency and to notify club personnel immediately so we can arrange for immediate assistance.

 

Cramps: When a swimmer experiences a cramp, the first thing to remember is not to panic. Relax as much as possible and begin to float if necessary. If it is at all possible, leave the water. Cramps can be relieved more comfortably on land.

To relieve a cramp, you need only to stretch the cramping muscle. The stretching should be slow and steady, without any bouncing movements. Hold the stretch for 30 to 60 seconds for the best results. If the cramp is severe, the pain may initially get worse for a few seconds as you begin to stretch the muscle. You must continue to stretch the muscle for the prescribed amount of time. If stretched only until the pain foes away, the cramp will usually return immediately upon using the muscle.

 

Eating Before Swimming: How soon you go into the water after eating should depend on several factors:

1. The amount of food consumed

2. The kind of food ingested

3. Your general physical condition

4. Your degree of fatigue

5. The water temperature

6. The vigor of your swimming activities

 

Recent studies have suggested that when people have gone swimming after a large meal accident have occurred not from cramping, but from vomiting their meal and aspiring vomit into their lungs. After eating a large meal, most people do not want to take part in a vigorous activity for an hour or more. This is nature’s way of keeping your body quiet while digestion takes place. When you begin to swim, blood is taken away from your stomach to the muscles needed to maintain the swimming activity. This slows digestion. For young children, it is best to establish a minimum time of rest following a meal before allowing them to go back into the water. If you feel uncomfortable in the water after eating, get out or slow down your activity. All swimmers should recognize and listen to that uncomfortable feeling as nature’s warning that something isn’t right.
