Keeping inline with state and local government guidelines, the Ridgewood Pool Board met on Monday night and voted to open the pool under more normal conditions. What does that mean, you might ask? The changes below are effective immediately:
The 80 person on-deck limit has now been removed
For the time being, masks are still required in the bathrooms, in the game room and at the snack bar
Reservations are no longer required but all members are still required to check-in with a lifeguard at the front desk upon arrival
Guests and Neighborhood punch cards are permitted again. Guest passes can be purchased in Membersplash using your account login. Guests may only attend the pool with a Member. For more information on our Guest policy, please read this page -> http://www.ridgewoodpool.org/wp/about-us/guest-policy/
Adult swim is back. Guards will call Adult Swim 10 minutes before every hour. All children are required to vacate the pool for this 10 minute period. Normal swim will resume at the top of every hour. No other breaks will be called.
Entering and exiting the pool will once again be via the main gate only.
The gate closest to the playground will be unlocked but is to be used only in emergencies. i.e. parents needing to get to their child in a hurry. Children wanting access to the playground should use the main entrance
Middle schoolers - this includes rising 6th graders - are permitted at the pool unaccompanied by an adult. 5th grade and below must be accompanied by a responsible adult. If you intend to send your young person to the pool unaccompanied, please be sure to review the pool rules with them ahead of time.
It will take us a few more days to update the website to reflect these changes so please continue to bear with us on that.
The Board would like to take this opportunity to thank all Members for their patience and support as we have navigated this very challenging 12 - 18 month period. Look out for more updates and communications on social events and other opportunities to connect with and get to know other members at The People's Pool!
Have fun and stay safe!
Your Ridgewood Pool Board
