Operating hours for opening weekend:

• Saturday – 9AM-10PM
• Sunday – 11AM-9PM
• Monday – 11AM-8PM

Pool Admittance: To enter the Pool, you MUST have completed your 2022 Membership Audit (nearly all of you have, thank you!), and you must have paid your maintenance fee and any late fees due. You must also have your family members entered with their pictures uploaded in MemberSplash. You will NOT be able to get your picture taken at the pool on opening weekend. After opening weekend, if you want the guard at the front desk to take your picture, you’ll need to wait until there is no line for check-in. For the avoidance of doubt, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE AUDIT IN PERSON ON OPENING WEEKEND. Members who have not completed the audit will be turned away at the front gate. Board members will be in attendance on opening weekend to address any issues in this regard. Please refer to prior communication regarding the 2022 Membership Audit (we have e-mailed multiple prior reminders and instructions).

Guests: As is the case in prior years, no guests will be permitted on opening weekend (May 28-30).

Guest Passes: Remember that the guards do not handle payments any longer, so if you need to add guest passes to your MemberSplash account, you should do that BEFORE you come to the pool. You can use your smartphone to buy additional guest passes as well.

New Playground/Volleyball Court: The Board is excited about the new playground in the sand pit / volleyball area. The playground will be available for use by kids 14 and under.

Side Parking Lot Improvements: The Board has worked hard to have the side lot refinished and prepped for the 2022 Pool season. New basketball hoops are available for our members' use, and we anticipate within the next few weeks having markings for pickleball and basketball professionally painted onto the side lot. Outdoor basketballs will be available when the pool opens. The pickleball nets should be arriving in June. To play basketball or pickleball in the side lot, you MUST CHECK IN to the pool and proceed through the pool house. You must use your member number to check out sports equipment from the front desk. You must wear sneakers while playing basketball or pickleball. You must shower after playing basketball/pickleball before getting in the pool. The side lot will RARELY be used for car parking, and then only when coordinated with our Special Activities director.

Snack Bar: The snack bar will be open this year. After a multi-year hiatus due to Covid-19 disruptions, our snack bar manager, Tina Campbell, is back and we are thankful for her support. A REMINDER TO PLEASE treat the snack bar staff with patience and respect – all snack bar employees are teens and many of them are new to the job.

Lap Swimming: For the first two weeks of the Pool being open there will be NO LAP SWIMMING while the afternoon swim practice for the younger kids is in session as the team will need all six lanes to get the practice done on time. Once Fairfax County Public Schools release for summer break, younger swimmers will practice earlier in the day so lap swimming will return to normal.

Adult Supervision of Children: Children 7 and under in the main Pool must have an adult in the water with them, within arm’s reach. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THIS RULE CHANGE. In order to be in the “deep” end of the pool, a child under 13 must be “swim safe” certified, be participating in swim team practice, or getting a private lesson from a lifeguard-certified instructor. This is a change from the 2021 season, where children under 13 could be accompanied by an adult in the deep end if they had not been "swim safe" certified. We had issues with this last season, with children under 13 unaccompanied by adults in the deep end. Per prior correspondence in 2021, we updated the Pool Rules to reflect this change.

Please take the time to go to the pool website and read the pool rules (https://greenbriar.org/pool-rules).

As mentioned above, there will be board members at the pool for most of opening weekend to help with any issues that arise. We’re looking forward to another great season in 2022!
