• When you come to the pool, staff would like you to be dressed and ready to get into the pool. You will still need to take a shower before you enter the pool but staff is wanting to eliminate extra time in the bathrooms.

• Everyone must sign in when entering the pool.

• Anyone under the age of ten must be accompanied by an adult or daycare provider.

• Staff would like to see families and individuals purchase passes this year instead of paying cash on a daily basis. This will eliminate handling cash and spreading of germs.
