Dear DHARA Members:
Arlington County and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have dramatically increased the recommended amount of time a pool should remain closed following a fecal or vomit incident. To comply with the Arlington County recommendation and ensure our water is clean and safe for swimming, Dominion Hills has increased its closure time to a maximum of 12 hours, from the previous six, after such an incident.
Our first line of defense against any such mishap is you, the parents. Pool rules require that children who are not potty-trained must wear swim diapers covered by tight-fitting plastic pants.
The board has voted to enact a $25 fine beginning July 1 for members whose children (or guest children) are not properly dressed. The parent must immediately dress the children in plastic pants (which can be purchased for $5 at the DHARA front desk) or the child must leave the pool.
Parents should also take common-sense measures to help prevent accidents. Check your child’s diaper often – at least every half-hour – and take young children to the bathroom frequently. Do not allow them to swim immediately after a large meal, and keep a close watch on them.
We want to do everything we can to avoid pool closures and enable a safe and happy summer for all members. If you have questions or comments about this new policy, you can email the board at info@dominionhills.org or come to the next board meeting on Thursday, July 10 at 7:30 in the Community House. We welcome your input.
Sincerely,
The DHARA Board
