Summer Pool update and reminder

As summer is winding down we just want to remind everyone of the some major pool rules still in effect as directed by the SROA Board of Directors and local governmental authorities:

1.      NO Pool Parties are allowed

2.      NO gatherings of more than 10 people

3.      Pool Capacity is still at 50%  or 63 owners

4.      Pool Waiver forms MUST be signed up each entry

5.      Masks are required for all over the age of 10 – unless you are in the pool

6.      Social distancing of 6’ is required for persons not in immediate family household

Anyone not following the rules will be asked to leave by the gate monitor and could lose pool privileges for remainder of the season.   Our goal is to allow residents to enjoy the amenity but also to keep each of us safe!

The pool will continue the summer hours through Sunday, September 6. The pool will be open for Labor Day Monday, September 7. After Labor Day the pool will only be open Saturday and Sunday from 8am – 8pm, and will not be open during the week. The pool closes for the season at 8pm on Sunday, October 11.

Pool Opening Update

The Scofield Farms ROA Board of Directors voted on Monday, June 15 to provisionally open the pool on June 23, 2020 for the 2020 season. The Board voted to officially file rules with the County which will permit the Board to set and change rules to address health and safety concerns moving forward.

The future pool status is subject to closure based on city, county, state and federal orders. Residents must abide by new temporary rules that have been put into effect for the duration of the COVID situation and the 2020 season. All residents will be required to complete a waiver for their household.

No guests nor parties will be permitted during this season.  Full-time gate monitors will be used to control capacity, remind residents of rule compliance and perform regular surface wipe-downs.  Due to increased COVID related budget impact – the association will be unable to provide life guards during peak times. SWIMMING HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT YOUR OWN RISK for all participants entering the facility.

Pool capacity, under orders from the Governor, must be limited to 50% which for Scofield Farms is 63 persons. Thus there is the possibility you could be refused access due to capacity limits. The Board urges residents to limit their use of the pool to no more than 2 hours per day.

The ROA is increasing janitorial services for restroom cleanings each day the pool is open. Contracted monitors will not only seek to enforce ROA rules but will also regularly wipe down surfaces during their shift.

Showers and changing areas will be closed and marked off with caution tape. Residents should come dressed to swim and plan to change at home.

Please note all new signage on the property and adhere to the requests to maintain a safe and pleasant environment for all persons.

Facility furniture is only available for use by residents AT YOUR OWN RISK. These will not be wiped down nor maintained more than on a weekly basis. Furniture may not be moved during this period.

Each arriving homeowner must sign and complete an updated waiver and acknowledge the risks. A new waiver must be completed each time you visit the pool.

Residents must comply with social distancing practices including use of masks for those over age 10 outside the pool water. Parents must ensure their children do not encroach on other guests.

Any resident who may be at a higher risk with respect to COVID-19 is encouraged to not use the pool center during this pandemic. Any person experiencing or otherwise exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19, who has tested positive for COVID-19, or was exposed to someone with COVID-19 within the last 14 days may not enter the pool area. If you have any COVID-19 related questions, the Association recommends you contact the appropriate health officials. USE OF THIS FACILITY IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
