Showering Before Entering the Pools: Water in our two pools can sometimes become cloudy and murky due to the intense heat and sun of the summer months. Also some are not showering prior to entering the pool which contributes to this condition. We have outside showers at both pools and ask that everyone use the showers prior to getting in the water. A quick rinse before entering the pool will help keep the pools water clear.
Lap Swimming: Open from Dawn–8 AM at the MAC pool. This is a first come-first serve process. We ask others that might be in the pool during these hours to allow the lap swimmers their space.
Water Aerobics: Classes are offered during the warmer spring, summer & fall months only from 8-9AM at the MAC pool. Please Note: Once the air or water temperatures become too cool, the classes end for the season. Click Water Aerobics Class Schedule for the schedule.

POOL MONITORS

Pool monitors begin coverage at the pools Memorial Day weekend. Their last day of coverage will be Labor Day. The pool monitors are there to be sure everyone has a fun, safe and relaxing time at the pools. The monitors will answer any questions you might have. And if they do not have an answer, they will try to find the answer for you.

Pool monitors represent the Sea Trail Master Association and should always be respected. During the weekdays, our onsite maintenance technician will be monitoring the trash and preparing the pool decks each morning. We ask that individuals using the pool to follow all pool rules, clean up after yourselves, and put the umbrellas down and tie them before you leave the pool area.

If you have an EMERGENCY related to Sea Trail Master Association (STMA) common areas such as the Pink Palace, MAC or Creekside buildings or amenities, or any of the main Sea Trail entrances, during normal business hours please call the onsite STMA office at 910-579-5374. After normal business hours please dial 877-672-2267 and follow the prompts for emergency assistance.
