[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they wrote these to make sure waterparks
didn’t open and weren’t thinking about neighborhood pools at all.
There are hundreds of them in Virginia but I guess they didn’t get a seat at the table with the big money lobbyists.[/quote]

I agree. For whatever reason ($$$), neighborhood pools were not heard during this process.[/quote]

Disagree.  It’s written so social distancing can still occur. Some don’t like how that affects their family. FWIW, it affects mine also but I can understand why it says what it says. [/quote]

You mean socially distant in the pool? That’s what is tricky. Adults can stay apart but kids can’t do that so easily. But again, what’s the risk of a kid splashing and swimming pass you? I don’t know. I’m ready to be fine with it. 50 people in the pool, signed up for an hour or two block and swimming all over. Not all 50 people would even get in except to cool off a bit. A lot of people like to lay out and relax. I think it’s possible to interpret to the most flexible way. :)[/quote]

I just sat through a webinar with the VDH. They are requiring pool use to be structured exercise or lap swim. Seems silly to me since they are concerned about people exerting and breathing hard, but that’s what they are requiring. They aren’t allowing recreational swim at outdoor pools because they believe it is just too difficult for the facility to determine who would be “allowed” to be within 10’ of each other.

One good thing is diving is allowed and does not have to be structured or instructional.

I sat through 1.5 hours of it and have 2 pages of notes, so feel free to ask.[/quote]
