Action Requested - Pre-Season Account Checklist

The start of the 2021 Greenbriar Pool Club (Pool) season is just a few weeks away. As noted further below, later this week we will be sending you a detailed e-mail with additional information regarding how the Pool will be opening to ensure equitable access to the pool while also ensuring compliance with COVID-19 social distancing and headcount capacity restrictions. Please stand by to receive that correspondence.

The Pool Board requests your help in ensuring a smooth start to the season by coming to the pool prepared with an up-to-date Member Splash account. Please log into Member Splash and complete this checklist. You can access your account by clicking here: https://greenbriar.org/member-login . Thank you for your attention to this important component of preparing for the 2021 season.

Pre-Season Account Checklist:

• Add all members in your household to your account.* (Click the + sign next to MEMBERS to add a family member. Please refer to the definition of "family unit" posted at the top of the page in Member Splash.)

• Upload a picture for each person on your account.* (Click the camera icon next to the name.)

• Sign the Pool Assumption of Risk and Liability Waiver. (The Board has implemented a waiver as part of our response to COVID, and it has been recently added to Member Splash and awaits your digital signature. These waivers are comparable to those used by other regional area aquatic facilities. All adults are required to sign the waiver in order to use the pool facility; there will be no exceptions. A signed waiver covers any children listed on the account and guests.)

• Update your emergency contact. (This should be someone the pool can call if no adult member of your household can be reached. It should be someone close by, perhaps a local friend or a neighbor.)

*The ability for members to add family members and upload pictures will be removed at 8:00 p.m. on Friday, May 28, 2021. Failure to set up these aspects of your account will result in delayed access to the pool. For assistance prior to opening weekend, please email (pool@greenbriar.org) or call (703-378-4421) our administrator. We are happy to assist you with your account set up.

Upcoming Opening Plan Communications

As noted above, we know the Pool membership is anxious to hear details about the 2021 Pool season opening plan. Check your inbox later this week for Look Ahead email #3, followed by frequent email updates through the month of May leading up to opening weekend. The Board of Directors has worked hard to make this Pool season a success while also ensuring safe but equitable access to the Pool, and we appreciate your patience as we work through the logistics of opening with required COVID restrictions.

• 2021 Pool Season Operating Status

As we had indicated previously was likely to be the case, the Board has officially determined that the Pool will be open for the 2021 season, subject to the restrictions placed upon the Pool in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Board will keep you informed as to how these restrictions will impact the Pool experience this year, but you should expect it to be different than past seasons as the Board adjusts the way the Pool operates under current conditions. The Pool's Swim and Dive Teams are expected to be active, and as the Board learns more about how Swim and Dive practices and meets will be conducted the Board will pass that information along. Generally, it is likely that the Pool will have reduced capacity and social distancing requirements. The Board has also opted to extend the normal operating hours of the pool (at additional cost to the Pool due to increased labor required by lifeguards contracted by NVPools), starting earlier on some days and running later on some evenings. More details will be shared in the coming weeks in this regard.

Pool Membership Rentals Allowed

Now that the Board is confident that the pool will be operating this summer, rental applications will be accepted during the window of May 1 - May 15. Applications submitted during this window will be processed in time for your renter to have access to the pool at the beginning of the season. Rental applications must be submitted through Member Splash by you, the member. Please see our website for information about the rental process by clicking HERE. A second window to accept rental applications will be opened after the start of the season and will run June 5-30.

Please note that your account must be in good standing in order to rent out your membership; the maintenance fee deadline is Thursday, April 15, 2021 and you can pay your fee through Member Splash. Applications will be processed in the order they are received and only if the application is submitted during the rental window. Processing time can take up to two weeks.
