May 8, 2021
Good afternoon River Falls Community,
I hope that you and your family are doing well.
Understanding everyone’s anticipation of getting out and being able to move a little more freely, the Pool Committee has been diligently working to re-open the pool this year on time and we are currently scheduled for a May 15th opening.
Knowing that the safety and well-being of our community is paramount, we will be following the 2020 protocol’s put into place and at the same time adhering to the current Governor’s Order and national CDC guidelines.
Pool Rules for the 2021 Pool Season are as follows:
Take your temperature at home before coming to the pool. Stay at home if 99.9 or higher.
Do not use pool if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 (fever of 99.9 or higher, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell.
You must sign up for a designated 2-hour time slot through Sign Up Genius in order to enter the pool. Only residents living in the community will be allowed—no guests. Signing up for multiple/consecutive time slots will be permitted, but will be reviewed along the way in order to accommodate all families, so please be considerate.
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d4dada82fa2f4cf8-river20 residents will be allowed during any 2-hour period.
Pool Hours will be 10:00a-7:00p
Residents will be required to sign an “Acknowledgement of COVID-19 and Assumption of Risk” document for the first time they enter the pool (see attached). If you are bringing your minor children, you will be signing on their behalf.
Pool monitors have been hired and will be present every day during pool hours. You will be required to check in, temperature will be taken and recorded. If your temperature is above 99.9 degrees, you will not be allowed to enter. We ask that you wear a mask during the check-in process and when leaving.
The monitor will also have the responsibility for making sure residents are adhering to the 6 feet apart requirement and helping with additional sanitizing cleanings throughout the day.
River Falls pool loungers/chairs and tables will be available this year and will be spaced to accommodate the 6 ft rule. We will have sanitizing solution on-site and ask that you wipe your area before/after each use.
The water dispenser has been removed for now, but please feel free to bring your own in plastic beverage containers.
Please no sharing of toys or floats.
Pool parties will not be allowed.
Gate fobs will not be activated this year as a pool monitor will be checking in each resident.
Diving is strictly prohibited due to the depth of our pool and will be enforced. This is a Fulton County rule and they grant us our permit.
Failure to comply will result in loss of pool privileges.
Rules, regulations & pool hours are subject to change and dependent upon conditions of state and national guidelines.
On behalf of the Board of Directors and the pool committee, we hope everyone has an enjoyable summer and please adhere to what’s been outlined to ensure a safe environment for you, your family and community.
Thank you,
Allan Price, for the Board of Directors
