Description:

There are Four Cardinal Rules of Pool.

These are given by the person who has been doing Pool the longest, and read ceremonially whenever a new person does Pool for the first time.

1) Wear as much or as little clothing as you want, no pressure either way.

2) No food, drinks, or drugs in the pool, unless there's enough for everybody and everybody wants some.

3) No bodily fluids in the pool. ...Unless there's enough for everybody and everybody wants some.

4) No unnecessary splashing. This rule, of course, allows for plenty of necessary splashing. (And good luck splashing with pillows in the playa version!)
