[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That site for Ocean Dunes says “ To protect the health and safety of our employees and guests, we follow Social Distancing Standards recommended by the Center for Disease Control. These standards will be strictly enforced.” So, it would seem they WILL police the six feet rule. [/quote]

I'm not sure that's true-- see last sentence of the site. "Lifeguards are focused on scanning the water, not enforcing social distancing or mask wearing.  If you have a concern, please ask to speak to a manager and discuss your concerns." It seems that they are relying on guests to flag violations to the manager, rather than proactively policing.

In any event, my point in comparing Ocean Dunes to Dominion Hills is that you can require guests to maintain the required minimum distance without extreme measures like dividing the pool into pods, closing bathrooms, banning food, etc. If that was the preferred approach, then NoVA Parks would be doing it at the public pools, where they can't contract trace as easily and don't even know the people who are swimming. The risk is so much lower at a member-owned swim club where you can track who is at the pool every minute of the day by scanning member ID cards in and out. You can also ask for proof of vaccination and issue wrist bands to vaccinated members. I don't understand these member-owned private swim clubs that don't seem to trust their own membership to follow the rules and instead are throwing the book at them in the form of excessively difficult policies. Why can't you just say "These are the rules. Let the manager know if someone isn't following them." That's what the manager is getting paid to do.[/quote]

It's CYA.  DH has tons of type A members who have nothing better to do than police it.  Including one disgruntled member who likes to report any perceived violation to the County.  DH is probably one of the most restrictive and conservative of the pools.  It's because of the members.

No one is going to try to report Upton Hills.  They just want to have fun and keep it open.   [/quote]

+1. The DH Board knows and agrees that the governor's regulations are stupid.  They also know that they have members who have clearly indicated they won't even try to comply or make their kids comply with the distancing mandate, which makes guidance to self-police meaningless.  They also know there is one a-hole who has contacted the state in the past to try and get the pool in trouble.  They can't win.  I wish my friends and neighbors would realize that their fellow pool members on the board will change this once the governor changes the regulations.  They are focused on their job as directors of the nonprofit entity, which in part is about managing risk.  None of them are happy with this.

If a private club has members who are clearly saying they won't adhere to the club rules, then why wouldn't you just kick them out of the club? It is odd to put extreme measures in place for your entire membership to manage a handful of rogue actors. No wonder your members are so upset. [/quote]
