Pool Etiquette & Usage

Phase 3 Comp Pool Usage

The competition pool will be opened from 6am until 8pm, Monday through Friday for resident usage. Our Saturday hours of operation will be 7am until 8pm, and Sunday hours will be 9am until 7pm. To utilize the pool, residents will need to register for one-hour time slots. Residents must be 16 or older to reserve a lane. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult member of the same household. The adult household member must reserve a lane as well, even if they do not intend to swim. We are requiring this so we can best manage social distancing and so we can limit the total amount of residents in this area. Some pool furniture will be available in small numbers, we ask these are not moved from where they are staged. Staff will clean and sanitize the furniture after each use. We ask that no resident signs up for more than 3 slots per week to ensure usage for all of the community. When you enter the facility, you will be asked to remain in a social distancing conscious staging area until we clear the pool of swimmers from the previous reservation time. You will be checked in by a staff member who will have a roster of the registered residents. You will need to sign up by the end of the previous day to ensure your reservation. You will be able to call in and staff can sign you up for same day reservations, should any remain. This call in will be first come, first serve. 

The Loggerheads have resumed their normal practice times at the Recreation Center Competition Pool. From 3pm until 8pm M-F and 6am until noon on Saturday, resident reservations will be limited to 2 lanes for residents while the Loggerheads utilize 6 lanes. Residents who schedule a reservation between those hours should expect up to 24 swimmers in the lanes next to them. We will keep the 2 lanes closest to the Tennis courts open for resident swim, and the six lanes closest to the Recreation Center available for the swim team usage. Tables closest to the Tennis courts will be reserved for residents to place their belongings and the Loggerheads will utilize the tables closest to the building. The Loggerheads will have sole usage of the Family restroom in the Aquatics Building and residents will be free to use the locker-room attached to the Recreation Building and the two large restrooms attached to the Aquatics Building.

Phase 3 Family Pool Usage

We are no longer requiring reservations for the Family Pool. The hours of operation are M-Sat 8:00am - 6:00pm and Sunday 9:00am-6:00pm.

Swim Etiquette

Please consider the following when swimming:

• Circle swimming can be performed by 2 or more people swimming in circular motion and keeping to the right
• Splitting the lane is when two participants share the lane with each participant only using one side of the lane

Comp Pool Usage

There may be times during the swim team practice that the swim team will have use of seven out of the eight lanes. One lane will remain reserved at all times for lap swim. However, if at any time three swimmers occupy the lap swimmers’ lane and a fourth swimmer arrives on deck to swim laps, the swim team will vacate the seventh lane.
