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:

If 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.
