Summer is pool season, which means it’s also pool party season! Before planning your gathering, please take a moment to review the community’s pool party guidelines.
Occasionally, large groups arrive at the pool without prior notification to the association. This can create safety concerns due to increased pool occupancy and limited seating. To help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all residents, the association requires pool parties to be registered in advance. Anyone wishing to host a pool party must complete a Pool Party Application so the event can be properly scheduled and designated tables reserved.
Important: Pool parties are only permitted at the Scott Park Pool (177 Corn Planters Street). Pool parties are not allowed at the Pierce Park Pool or Edgefield Pool. Residents who host unauthorized pool parties at these locations may lose pool privileges.

Additional Information
- A resident must make arrangements through the Property Owners’ Association (POA) to schedule a pool party.
- The applicant and all guests are responsible for complying with all DICA pool rules and DHEC regulations.
- In the event of inclement weather, parties may be rescheduled based on pool availability. If you choose not to reschedule, refunds will not be issued.
- Cancellations must be made at least two weeks prior to the scheduled event to receive a 50% refund. No refunds will be issued for cancellations made less than two weeks before the event.
- Lifeguards are not staffed, and outside lifeguards are not permitted, as they are not covered under DICA’s insurance and liability policies.
- Pool parties are considered confirmed only after the rental agreement has been signed, payment has been received, and confirmation has been provided by the Property Owners’ Office.
- Reserving a pool party does not grant exclusive use of the pool.
- Jump castles, inflatables, animals, and similar items are not permitted. If you would like to bring a special item, please obtain approval from the POA before booking your event.
