We hope everyone remains safe and healthy. All policies relating to the pool’s use in 2020 were implemented consistent with current public health guidance, with what we’d learned over the course of the pool being opened, and with the health and safety of all who used or worked at our pool as the primary focus. If we could not provide a safe environment for our residents and staff, we could not keep the pool open. To that end, we appreciated everyone’s continued cooperation in adhering to all guidelines, rules, and policies, even if we found them to be cumbersome, different, or undesirable.
