Online reservations for week of -- March 1-6 ~~ Begins Tues, Feb 23 @ 9am March 7-13 ~~ Tuesday March 2 @ 9am March 14-21~~ Tuesday March 9 @ 9am
PLEASE GET RULES/REGULATIONS/CHANGES for INDIVIDUAL WEEKS at the SignUpGenius WEBSITE. THANKS!
~~Things to Note ~~
Under re-opening guidelines from the DOH, social gatherings (birthday parties) are allowed, but all criteria of the Healthy Washington -- Roadmap to Recovery plan must be met. As of 03/01, this is a maximum of 5 people outside your household, with a limit of 2 households. Contact Randy with questions.
As of October 9, the DOH begin allowing two lap swimmers per lane. The Vashon Community Pool continues to operate with a ONE-PERSON PER LANE limit for lap swim. This includes people from the same household.
There is A LOT of demand for swim lanes. Please limit yourself to three swims per week, and no more than one per day. Lane splits (sharing the time) is not currently allowed.
There is not a wait list system. But people are able to delete/edit their reservations. So if you are looking for a lane ... just keep checking back. They get re-booked quickly.
A no-show, or a cancellation later than 6pm the previous day (if not re-filled) --- still gets a punch on your punchcard. Thanks for understanding.
All lane reservations are taken online, first-come, first-serve. You do not need to create an account (it's free), but it does allow you to edit/delete reservations.
The Vashon Pool remains in 'Stage 1' of our re-opening plan [See below for Stage info]
DON'T FORGET OUR CURRENT HEALTH STANDARDS ...
In the last 10 days, have you … ·Travelled out of state, or by air? ·Travelled to a Phase 1 area (currently NONE!)
In the past 72 hours, have you … ·Come in contact with someone with COVID? ·Had any of the symptoms listed by the CDC? ·Had close contact with someone waiting for the results of a test?
If any of those apply or you're not feeling well, PLEASE stay home.
================
The highest concern of the Vashon Pool is the health of the community, our users, and staff. We will be opening in stages, in conjunction with current DOH guidance. We will not move to a new stage until we feel comfortable with the current one.
Stage 1 – Appointment-only lap swim. One person per lane (except for an 8&under with parent). Private lessons available. Water aerobics in groups of 5 or less. Pool equipment not available for use. Showers and changing rooms closed. Seals swim team allowed using current DOH guidelines.
Stage 2 – Introduction of additional lap swimmers, limited group lessons, and reservation-only family swim. Locker room restrictions may be expanded. Case-by-case group rentals with limitations are allowed.
Stage 3 – Potentially coinciding with Phase 4 of Washington’s Safe Start Plan. Open swims and group lessons can resume. No limitations for swim team. Water slide can re-open. Appointment-only restrictions end.
Note: Movement to a stage does not guarantee all the changes listed above.
