The last day of school sundae bar was a great success enjoyed by both kids and parents. The snack bar sold ninety-five sundaes! Both the snack bar and special activities have lots of fun events planned for the summer. This year the snack will be offering some rafternoon specials and special activities has a fun Fourth of July celebration planned. Be sure to check the pool calendar for upcoming events at Upcoming Events — Greenbriar Pool Club .

Now to cover some administrative items. We have had some difficulty with guests being brought into the Pickleball courts and then coming into the pool. For now, the gate between the pool and the Pickleball courts will remain closed while we reevaluate how the courts will be managed. We are looking at limiting the number of guests a member can bring into the Pickleball courts along with adding hours of operation. We are glad people are enjoying the courts, but we also want to be respectful of our neighbors that live near our pool.

Please take a moment to review the following pool rule:

“Children seven (7) years of age or under who are not certified as swim safe may use the main pool only if accompanied in the water by an adult. The adult must be actively supervising the child(ren) and be close enough to assist the child (within arm's reach).”

The rule is in place because statistics show that a small child can begin drowning in as little as twenty seconds and drowning is the leading cause of death in children ages 1-4 years according to the CDC. This rule follows CDC recommendations and echo the rules of other public and private pools in our area.

Recently we have had several members who have not only repeatedly refused to follow this rule, but have also argued with our guard staff. Please remember that the guard staff does not make the rules. The pool board is responsible for the rules and policies of the pool and the guard staff enforces those rules at the pool board’s direction. If you have a question or concern regarding a rule or policy of the pool, please reach out to the pool board at board@greenbriar.org.

Now for the week ahead. Morning swim and dive practices begin this week. Both teams start practice prior to the pool opening. Swim practice ends before the pool opens and dive practice ends at 1 pm. There is no evening dive practice this season. On the evening of Monday the 17th, the pool will close at 4 pm as swim has a home meet against the Poplar Tree Pirates. Our next board meeting will take place at Chantilly Regional Library on Tuesday, June 18th at 7:30 PM. Anyone who wishes to address the board on any topic should send an email message to board@greenbriar.org asking to be added to the agenda and a sentence describing the topic. Anyone is welcome to observe board meetings, but if you want to address the board, you must give prior notice.

Have a great week and enjoy our pool!
