To comply with Phase III guidelines, the following protocols are recommended:
• Please wear a mask when you enter the pool to be checked in, and whenever interacting with our pool staff at the front desk or on the pool deck. Please practice good hygiene; there will be soap available in the restrooms and hand sanitizer at the front desk and pool exit.

• Pool staff will be monitoring attendance so as not to exceed the 75% capacity mandate. On particularly hot days, we recommend first calling the pool’s front desk at (540) 635-5029 to check availability.

• Ten feet of physical distance must be maintained between persons not of the same household, both on the deck and in the pool.

• Patrons are encouraged to bring their own chairs for seating; however, picnic tables and deck chairs will be available. Patrons should not move any of the tables as they are in place for social distancing needs.

• Vending machine available for contactless purchase of cold water and sodas.

• Patrons are asked to self-screen upon entrance for COVID-19 symptoms. There is a checklist before entering the building.

We will continue to monitor national standards, state protocols, and best practices for operating swimming pools. If you have questions please call (540) 635-5029, (540) 635-7171, or email pool@nova4h.com
