About Saefern's Amenities - The Pool Area & Playground
The Pool Area - A Popular Summer Place
The Saefern swimming pool is popular with members in the community for swimming
, sun-bathing and socializing. The main pool is 75-feet by 24-feet, ranging from 3' to 8' in depth. There is an L-shaped area at the deep end for diving and a lap lane is also provided. There is a separate wading pool that is available to all members. Adjacent bath houses provide showers, toilets, and a covered and lighted picnic area. This area has tables and barbeque grills that are also part of the pool complex. A terrace with benches on an overlook facing Clements 
Creek adjoins the pavilion. There is a well maintained playground with slide and swings. There is also a basketball backboard, a hop-scotch court and a rack for bicycles. While many folks walk or bike to the pool, ample car parking is provided.
Recent enhancements at the pool area include the addition of a "hybrid" gas grill (propane ignition; charcoal fired) and the installation of solar collectors providing "free" energy for pool requirements and, when not needed for the pool, returns to the power grid.
Pool Management
The pool is managed by a local professional pool management company that is responsible for maintaining the pool in compliance with all governmental regulations and for providing qualified life guards.
Pool Openings
The Saefern pool is open to all SSYC members and their guests from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with pool hours from noon until 8pm on most days. The pool is available for member private after-hours parties by advance arrangement and is also used for parties and special events for the entire community.
At the end of the Pool season, a "Yappy Hour" is held with the pool open for a Saefern Dog Swim.
