Dear Norwood Whalers Pool Community,
We hope that this communication finds you and your loved ones safe and well at home. At this time, we are writing to provide the latest updates on the summer of 2020. We have been closely following the updates from the World Health Organization, Center for Disease Control, New Jersey Pool Managers Association, as well as State and Local Government. At this time, there is still a large amount of uncertainty as to what the 2020 swim season and summer look like. With that being said, we are committed to continuing to work towards a 2020 season, although we realize it will likely be altered by Covid-19 in one way or another.
We will continue to offer the $100 discount and preferred membership until our extended deadline of next Friday May 1st. As a reminder, to secure membership, you must both sign up and pay for the 2020 season by this Friday. Returning members can still sign up after May 1st, but will not be eligible for the $100 discount or guaranteed membership if we reach our maximum capacity again this year. On May 2nd, pool membership will be opened to the general public. New members will have until Saturday May 16th (the date of our virtual open house – more details to follow) to sign up for the 2020 Season.
We have completed a thorough review of our financials, and are able to present you with the following scenarios for this summer. Please keep in mind, that there are significant static costs for maintaining the pool no matter what happens this summer.
Opening as of Monday, June 1st
A large amount of research and number crunching has gone into creating these scenarios for you. Please note that these allow us to maintain the financial stability of our club. Operating the swim club has become more costly than ever due to new personal protective equipment and cleaning standards, a longer season this year due to Labor Day falling on Monday, September 7th, and a significant increase in minimum wage. Our strong membership base will be key for us to move forward through and past this crisis for many years of enjoyment to come.
Thank you in advance for your new level of flexibility, as we work to provide some type of season to all of our members. We will do everything possible to maintain and open our small, private, family oriented club this summer, while keeping within state and local regulations. We are doing our best to plan for all scenarios, so that the club can become operational as soon as conditions allow. Updates will continually be provided via email and social media as they become available. Please make sure you are signed up via Community Pass to receive the latest updates.
Finally, thank you to EVERYONE who is playing a part in keeping us all safe and well during this unprecedented time. We truly appreciate all of your efforts. We cannot wait to see you at the pool sooner rather than later.
Be well - The Board and Management of the Norwood Swim Club
