Greenbriar Pool Club - In The Know-Week of 8-11-24
Welcome to Week 12 of the 2024 pool season!
A few administrative matters to address: In the last ten days we’ve had to close the pool multiple times due to people getting sick in the pool or on the pool deck. Any emesis on or in the pool requires a significant amount of work and time until the pool is “healthy” again for swimmers. Parents - please take extra care with your children, particularly if they don’t feel well or tend to go nuts at the snack bar.
A word about weather... Everyone is aware that we close the pool when lightning or Thunder is detected. But when storms are predicted before the pool even opens (such as our Tornado Watch on 8/9/2024, we may delay the opening of the pool, rather than opening only to close right away for what could be hours. Similarly, while the pool is open when it rains, if there's nobody at the pool in the evening hours, we may close an hour or two early. We take these actions because we consider our staff part of the pool club family, and we don't want them to waste their time or put them at risk driving in horrible weather.
Please note the pool hours will change on Monday, August 19th when FCPS is back in session. The pool will open at 4 pm and close at 8 pm on weekdays and Saturday-Sunday pool hours are 11 am to 9 pm. No guests are permitted on Labor Day Monday, September 2nd.
