Pool Closures:
This is not one of the greatest topics to discuss BUT I want
to clarify the procedure for pool closures for feces/vomit:
I f
the feces/vomit is intact and the patron who is responsible
is identified and reports no illness, then the pool will be
spot treated and reopened 30 minutes after cleaning measures
have been taken.
If the feces/vomit is not intact
(runny, smeared, etc.) we must close for 25.5 hours after
raising the chlorine to 10 ppm.
If the responsible patron is not
identified to insure there is no illness, we must close for
25.5 hours after raising the chlorine to 10 ppm.
These mandatory procedures are
required by Thurston County Health Department and must be
followed
With all of that said I am proud
to report that we did not have any closures last year due to
feces/vomit incidents. Thanks you parents for checking those
swim diapers!!

Pool
temperature is 84 degrees. Spa Temperature is 104
degrees.
Clearwood pool
maximum capacity is 117 people in the building according to
Thurston County fire code. Occasionally, we reach max
capacity and we have to clear the pool area halfway through
a swim session. The people waiting outside the pool area
will be the first to re-enter the pool after the building is
cleared out. This is the fairest way of handling this
situation. We thank you for your patience.
Pool capacity
will only be 58 people during lap and exercise, due to having
only one lifeguard on duty during that time.
We care about
your safety, therefore, our lifeguards will be performing
random safety drills called the “duck drill”. A red duck is
secretly put into the pool. The red duck represents a victim
in the water. When one/both lifeguards see the duck, they
have to rescue it. Upon reaching the duck, they are given a
scenario that they have to act upon. This drill will keep
the lifeguards on their toes. Please remember that when the
whistle is blown and the word drill is yelled, you must exit
the pool, wader, and spa. In the event of a real emergency
you will be asked to leave the building. Your safety is our
number one priority. Your quick response during these drills
is greatly appreciated.
During Lap and
Exercise the l foot wader pool will be closed.
Children 13 and
under must be accompanied by an adult 18 years of age or
older.
Just a friendly
reminder: Parents must be responsible and accountable for their
children- By law, lifeguards cannot be held responsible to
baby-sit children during pool operations.
If you are new to
Clearwood or have a lost, damaged, or need an exchanged pool
usage bracelet come pick yours up at the pool. New issue,
damaged, or exchanged- free lost - $2.00 replacement fee.
Air mattresses
and floats are not allowed in pool.
Babies must wear
swim diapers in the pool and be checked often.
A protective covering
(plastic pants) over SWIM diapers will be mandatory! There were
too many closures due to feces and vomit, and they happened on
the hottest days of the year. Please check the swim diapers
often and do not bring your sick child to the pool. Thank you. |
