The pool club does not allow diving, splashing, running or rowdy, excessive horseplay.

How many different types of commas are being used?
Are they being used correctly?
Is the Oxford comma included?
Should the Oxford comma be included?
What happens if you do include the Oxford comma?
What might be better wording and punctuation?

Good Luck
