According to the CDC, there is no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread to people through water in pools, hot tubs, spas, or water play areas.
We are taking the following step to create a safer and cleaner swim environment.
• We have removed every other lounge chair to allow for social distancing and reduce capacity. • New signs for each gate into the pools has been ordered and will be instituted by Friday.
• New disinfectant wipe dispensers have been ordered to install at the pools as it recommended pool furniture be wiped off after each use.
Following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance, under all circumstances, the following precautions should be followed by people utilizing pools. To the extent possible, pool users may follow these guidelines:
- Stay home if sick.
- Protect yourself while visiting pools.
- Stay at least 6 feet away from other patrons.
- If you are at higher risk for severe illness, you should avoid visiting pools. People at higher risk for severe illness include adults 65 or older and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions.
- Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Bring hand sanitizer and use it before and after going to the pool. When you get home, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
- Wipe down pool furniture when you are doing using it.
