Dear Members,

Your NSC Board and staff have been and will be working tirelessly to give our members the
summer they deserve! We ask for your patience as we navigate this season together. Due to
COVID-19 regulations, many of our pool’s daily operating procedures had to be modified. As
government regulations and guidelines change, we will work to adjust currently.

Below are the protocols that are effective July 13, 2020; these supercede the operating
protocols implemented at pool opening on June 8th and revised on June 16th and July 3rd. If
there is a direct conflict between what is included in this document and in our standard
Operating Rules, what is contained here supersedes the other document.

 

• Pool Operating Hours:

  • The pool’s operating hours follow previous seasons and can be found on our

website ( www.nottinghamswimclub.com ).

 

• Pool Capacity:

  • The capacity of the pool and fenced grounds is 200 people.

  • Accommodated on a first come, first serve basis.

 

• Pool Check-in and Check-out:

  • All members are required to check-in AND check-out with the guards.

  • Along with providing member names, the number of members in the party
    arriving and departing must be provided so that guards can monitor the club’s
    capacity.

  • In accordance with State guidelines, please remember social distancing with our
    check-in guard.

    family or party while on pool grounds (this includes while ordering and waiting for
    food from food trucks in the parking lot).

  • This distance must be maintained outside and inside the pool, therefore it is
    critical that members do not hang out within 6 feet of the pool stairs and ladders.

    restroom facilities; signage will be posted accordingly.
