IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL MEMBERS
Update on 7/2:
While we do hope this note finds you and your families happy, healthy, and safe - it is with heavy hearts we must write this email. Due to the recent Alameda County Health Department update (http://www.acphd.org/media/589530/statement-from--achcsa-alco-hits-pause-on-reopening.pdf ), we believe the indefinite pause on reopening the county has tied our hands for reopening the pool at this time.
Please know we completely understand the pandemic fatigue that everyone is feeling, we feel it too. We had been hopeful that we MIGHT be able to open the pool next week, so hopeful we had been discussing and researching options of how we could give our member families access safely. This is a huge blow to all, but know that your support has really made the difference in what has been an intense situation. We will continue to monitor the County directives, and let you know if anything changes. We realize lives and safety come first and we are hopeful for a full 2021 season.
We wish you all the best going into the 4th of July weekend. Please be safe, but most of all thank you for ALL of your overwhelming support.
Previous Update for June 2020:
As we mentioned in our previous update, for the health and well-being of its members and staff as well as by Order of the Alameda County Public Health Department’s Office(1) Chabot Swim Club will remain closed until the Order has been lifted. Governor Gavin Newsom has instructed localities to adhere to the stricter rules outlined, whether that be at the state(2) or county(1) level. For the location of our Club the more stringent Order is at the county level; the Alameda County Public Health Department’s Order which reads on Page 8, Paragraph iii, Line Item #2:
Use of outdoor recreational areas and facilities with high-touch equipment or that encourage gathering, including, but not limited to, playgrounds, gym equipment, climbing walls, picnic areas, dog parks, pools, spas, and barbecue areas, is prohibited outside of residences, and all such areas shall be closed to public access including by signage and, as appropriate, by physical barriers;
We are following the County’s Health Department guidelines and will open as soon as possible. We have found that people are now being fined $1,000 per person for violations to the order. We are taking this situation very seriously. We have also attached a copy of the current FAQs from the Alameda County Public Health Department’s Office.(3)
We will continue to monitor all events for any changes which may affect reopening of the Club and we will update accordingly. Any steps taken to reopen will be under the guidelines of the agencies in charge.
Cabana Rentals Info:
Due to social distancing rules, when the club is able to open, we will not be able to hold events or parties in the cabanas.
As of right now if we are able to open, it will be limited to members only. We anticipate having restrictions on capacity and social distancing once we are finally able to open and want to allow those spots for our members.
Please stay healthy and safe!
