All,
Please see below for information/rules for both pools at the Grove.
As you may have seen, we are finishing up some repairs at the North Pool, but we do still anticipate that we will be able to open on time Saturday. The work was delayed due to all the rain we received, but they are making good progress this week and doing everything they can to finish up.
As mentioned, the North Pool is scheduled to open this Saturday, May 27th and will be open through Labor Day. Pool hours are: Tuesday – Thursday 12:00 – 8:00 pm, Friday – Sunday 10:00 am – 8:00 pm, Closed on Mondays except for holidays. Once school starts in August, the pool will be open Tuesday – Friday from 4pm to 8pm and regular hours on Saturday and Sunday through Labor Day.
The South Pool will also open Saturday, May 27th and will be open through Labor Day and the Board will discuss potentially keeping this pool open an extra 2 weeks like we have done some years in the past. We will have lap time at the pool again this summer from 8am to 10am in order to give residents a window to swim laps if they would like to do so in peace and the pool is typically not busy this time of day anyway. Pool hours are: Monday and Wednesday – Sunday 8:00 am – 10:00 am (lap swim), 10:00 am – 10:00 pm (open swim) and will be Closed on Tuesdays. There WILL NOT be a lifeguard on duty at this pool.
Both pools will be Closed on Tuesday, May 30th for maintenance.
The rules are posted at both facilities, but I’m going to stress the following due to issues we have had in the past: THE POOL MANAGER AND LIFEGUARDS HAVE THE AUTHORITY AND RESPONSIBILITY TO ENFORCE DISCIPLINE AROUND THE POOL AREA. If the Board is informed by the pool management company that certain residents are not following the rules or are being disrespectful, we will not hesitate to suspend your pool privileges. A few more important rules are as follows:
- No glass containers allowed of any kind.
- No pets allowed at the facilities except for service animals.
- All babies and toddlers must wear swim diapers until potty-trained.
- No diving anywhere anytime.
- No running on pool deck.
- Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
- No food or drinks in the pool.
- Please exit the pool and patio area in a timely manner during safety breaks, inclement weather and closing time.
- Dispose of your trash in the provided trash cans.
- There should be no tobacco usage anywhere near the pool area.
A couple other things in general about the pool that we have had issues with in the past:
Please be sure to shut the exterior gates behind you when you enter and exit so that people who do not live in the neighborhood can’t just walk in and please do not open the gates or building doors for people who do not have key fobs.
The pool will be very popular and crowded on weekends and holidays and we ask that you use discretion in how many guests that you might bring to the facility. We are not going to put a number on it, but just ask that you respect your neighbor’s ability to use the facility as well. Weekdays/weeknights are better times to bring a guest over to the facility, as these typically aren’t nearly as populated as the weekends.
Please remember to be courteous to your fellow neighbors, be safe and enjoy the pools this summer!
