The <strong>Beach</strong> Club is a beautiful and unique asset that is enjoyed by a broad cross section of our membership. The<br />
information and policies in this publication are intended to ensure a pleasant environment that balances the desires and<br />
expectations of all members. We ask that you become familiar with its content and share the information with your<br />
family.<br />
Hector Hoyos, is returning as <strong>Beach</strong> Club Manager. Hector will provide day-to-day, hands on supervision of the <strong>Beach</strong><br />
Club and will be your “point person” for all questions beach related. Hector will be assisted by Clara Coccoli who will take<br />
on a supervisory role in <strong>2023</strong>. Tony Coccoli is returning as our <strong>Beach</strong> and Waterfront Director and will be responsible for<br />
lifeguard and beach attendant staff. Tony will be assisted by Will Ostrand and Ali Lomanto will be our Head Swim and<br />
Dive Coach. Please flip to page 7 for more information about our <strong>2023</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> Club staff.<br />
Safety of all is our primary goal at Wee Burn. Please observe the stop signs and come to a full stop at the crosswalk. Be<br />
especially aware of people crossing between the tennis and pool area. The turn into and out of the Club from and onto<br />
Roton Avenue can be challenging and we ask that members pay special attention and drive slowly when making that<br />
turn. Please use Roton Avenue to access the Club, NOT the private Rowayton <strong>Beach</strong> Association roads.<br />
Parents are reminded that they, not the lifeguards, are responsible for non-swimmers in the main pool. All<br />
children will be required to demonstrate their ability to swim competently prior to being allowed in the main<br />
pool without a parent.<br />
Please refer to the back page of this publication or click here for information about guests. An attendant will again be<br />
registering guests at the beach side entrance. In addition, a gate attendant will check vehicles upon entry to the <strong>Beach</strong><br />
Club parking lot during busy periods. If you have a <strong>Beach</strong> Club window sticker you may proceed without<br />
stopping at the gate. If you are expecting guests, please stop and inform the attendant of your name and the<br />
names of any guests you may be expecting. Please remember that a guest may be introduced up to eight times per season<br />
(there is no limit on the number of times a guest may be introduced for dining at Soundview or Ballast Reef).<br />
Please pay close attention to the Dress Code. Please ensure your family and any guests are aware of these rules. Dress Code<br />
policies will be enforced by Staff.<br />
Parking is a perennial concern. Parking spaces are limited and we ask that whenever possible members car pool when<br />
visiting the <strong>Beach</strong> Club. Please park in the designated spaces only.<br />
If you have comments regarding operations please contact either of us or a member of the <strong>Beach</strong> committee. We sincerely<br />
hope you enjoy the summer.<br />
