Changes to Phase 3 in Hampton Roads and the impact on the pool…
Some folks have asked if we are going back to the pool reservations or swim lanes. The short answer is “No” BUT please continue to read below.
According to what I read (and I verified with our health inspector) we can continue to operate the pool as laid out in Phase 3 — which you can read more about here.
As you may have noticed, while I am volunteering as pool manager, I have been wearing a face covering as required by Phase 3. We would encourage others who visit the pool to wear a phase cover while on the pool deck BUT it is not required. Please do NOT wear it while in the pool.
What is required?
- VGCA Pool will still abide by the 75% capacity rule for outdoor pools The only additional restriction is if the pool is rented for a pool party which is then considered a social gathering and has a maximum of 50 individuals.
- Folks that are not members of the same household practice 10ft of social distancing while on the pool deck or while in the water. Please help with this and remind your children of these requirements.
- Continue to see a lifeguard when you enter and answer required questions appropriately before entering the pool deck.
- Stay home if you feel ill or have been around someone who is ill.
- Enjoy the pool!
Also, any pool parties or events in the VGCA park must abide by the restriction of a maximum of 50 individuals in a social gathering.
If you have any questions, please me (Donnie Woodruff) or contact the VGCA Board at [email protected].
Be safe, abide by phase 3 requirements, and enjoy the pool!sd
