Changes in Protocols as COVID declines

Dear Members,

We have been open about a month now, and the Board has approved making changes in our protocols and procedures, in response to popular interest and a declining COVID risk. Beginning on Sunday, May 23, members will have access to THREE reservation slots in addition to the lap swim. The two-hour-in-advance reservation and cancellation rule has been dropped. Members may watch for an opening, and sign up online, at any time. However, if you arrive at the pool and there are already four member groups in attendance (three general and one lap), you will be asked to wait until the next available open slot. [This post continues in the Members Only section].

Update – May 17

Dear Members, 

We have some staffing challenges this week and next, and may be canceling some swim periods that have no reservations. Be sure to sign up or cancel at least two hours in advance–this will be very helpful. This whole week is forecast to be cooler and breezier than normal, so please take this into account when making your swimming plans.

Next week the Board will be announcing changes to our operating guidelines, in view of the improving COVID situation. If California’s planned reopening in mid-June happens as forecast, there will be even more welcome changes then! Have a good week, and thanks again for your patience and understanding.

Pool Closed Sunday

Dear Members,

Because of the forecast cold and rainy weather tomorrow, the pool will not open Sunday (April 25). If Monday continues to be cold and no one reserves a swim slot, we may also close Monday. We will make that decision tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding. We hope for warmer weather next week! Web

Opening Day

Dear Members,

Welcome to a new season at Agua Linda! Your Board and volunteers have been working hard to get the pool and grounds prepared to receive swimmers this Sunday, April 18.

There are some important changes, so please review the following carefully. We are not yet finished with COVID, but we can safely allow more access than last year. More details can be found on the Members Only page.

Questions on Dues for 2021

Dear Members,

Your pool Board met this past weekend to consider a variety of issues, among them our opening last year under COVID, our financial decisions in relation to that, and our preparations for the upcoming season. We were faced with an extremely fluid situation and were trying to accommodate members’ interests with our need to preserve the pool’s viability into a very uncertain period… [Letter is continued on the Members Only page].
