May 9, 2020 Update

The Pool Board shared the following information with members via email on May 9, 2020. If you are not receiving email from the pool, you need to access your Member Splash account and add a current email address to the contact information listed for any adult member. For Member Splash assistance, please email help@greenbriar.org.

  • The Pool Board is waiting for the County Health Department to provide specific guidance for outdoor swimming pools.  To date, this guidance has not yet been provided and we do not know when the Health Department will provide this information.

  • The Pool Board unanimously agreed that the pool will not open until it can do so under normal or close to normal operations.  With the current guidance provided by Governor Northam, the Pool Board will not open the pool until Phase 3.  If/When the Health Department provides further guidance for swimming pools, the Board will reevaluate that decision based on the new information.

  • The current opening date is still set for June 10, 2020, but that will likely change.  Until the Health Department issues our 2020 permit, we can not provide a specific opening date at this time.

  • An updated late fee policy is posted on the FAQ page of the website.

  • The Pool Board is discussing a plan for partial maintenance fee refunds if the opening date falls after June 20, 2020.  We are currently working on a new budget that would reflect the worst case scenario of closing for the entire season.  We will compare the operational costs of that minimal budget to the budget published in the February 2020 newsletter and refunds will be calculated based on the difference.

  • Our swim team representatives announced on Thursday, May 7 that the Northern Virginia Swimming League (NVSL) decided to cancel the 2020 swim/dive season.

  • The Pool Board understands that no matter how we handle opening for the 2020 season, some faction of our members will be unhappy.  In circumstances like these, there is no avoiding it, but please know we are working to do what's best for the membership now and for future pool seasons.  Your thoughtful feedback is welcome, but please be respectful.
