Baby pools - why still closed?

Seems asinine given what we now know about outdoor transmission, or lack thereof.

It's absolutely the same. VA has not updated them since last year so we're under the same ridiculous rules as last summer.

I’m pretty sure everyone is ignoring them in VA since even all the Nova Parks water parks will be open, and people were seen putting the shade coverings up at the splash pad the other day.

It is crazy that playgrounds, sports etc can be open but toddlers can’t have any fun in water yet again. It is a covid safe outdoor activity. How do we get them reopened?

So take them into the big pool. No one wants the babies in the big pool. Theyll complain and then solve the problem for you. If you pay for the pool membership you have the same right to access as everyone else. If its a public pool, you pay taxes.
