[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are any local pools that haven’t yet open but have been telling members they do plan to open - have you been watching the updated guidelines and been unsure if you will actually open?

I am part of a local pool that already announced their closure and I am curious about those that ‘plan to open in Phase 2’ if they still plan to do so. [/quote]

Yes -- many NoVa pools (including ours) are getting ready to reopen. There have been issues related to permitting, lifeguard training, etc. that need to be worked through.

It seems like many of the pools that are not opening are the ones that are dependent on foreign lifeguards. Hopefully this experience with COVID will lead pools to instead recruit and develop local high school & college students for these roles -- and we can shift away as a society from this absurd idea that college freshman need to get professional-track summer internships instead of the summer jobs of yesteryear.[/quote]

Yes. Ours was fully staffed in March. Almost all, of not all of the guards belong to our pool. It’s nice. They know everyone. They were also all trained so we were able to open last Friday for Phase 1. [/quote]
