Upcoming Events & More Dolphin News!

We are more than halfway through the pool season, the swim and dive teams are nearing the end of their season and the lazy days of summer are in full swing! This is what summers are made of. We hope everyone is enjoying the pool this summer - we especially enjoy seeing some of you “working from home” poolside! Here are a few things to keep in mind for the next few weeks... 

Independence Day Party, Expanded Weekend Hours & Sensory Swim

As we head into the holiday weekend, we have some exciting announcements to share with the membership.  

First, KGRC’s annual Independence Day celebration will return this Sunday, July 4th.  The party will begin at noon and go until 3, with games beginning at 12:30!  We are especially looking forward to bringing back raft races and the cannonball contest!!  Contest winners will receive a ticket for one free Snack Shack item.  All children will receive a ticket at check in for a popsicle treat at the Snack Shack, and cotton candy is BACK!  After the party ends the pool will remain open until 9:00.

School's Out, New Pool Hours & Safety Reminders

This is what we all wait for… school’s out, summer is here, it’s pool time all the time! 

KGRC is prepared and ready for you!

This week marks the beginning of our regular summer hours at the pool:

• Open Hours: 11:00 am - 9:00pm every day

• Early Morning Lap Swim: Monday - Thursday, 6:30-7:30 am

  • (We are adding Tuesday and Thursday beginning 6/22)

• The baby pool is available for families to use during swim/dive practices in the mornings.

Memorial Day & Updated COVID Guidelines

It was so nice to see all the happy faces at the pool opening weekend! It certainly was a great weekend to be swimming. Sadly, the weather won’t be as warm for the Memorial Day holiday weekend, but the pool will still be open for fun!* On Monday, the pool will be open with "weekend" hours: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. (plus lap swim for the early risers, 6:30 to 7:30 a.m.).

As predicted, we are making more changes to the KGRC Covid-mitigation protocols. The Governor of Virginia has lifted nearly all such restrictions. Taking the latest federal, state, and local guidelines into consideration, the Board made the following changes....

Opening Day & Operating Updates

Thank you all for your continued patience, understanding and, most importantly, flexibility as we change and update some of the club rules. 

As the Governor of Virginia and the state and local health departments are following new CDC guidelines, the rules at KGRC for masks have also changed

Opening Day, Schedule & Operating Guidelines

Opening Day is less than one week away, and we are so excited to see our Kent Gardens family. With a year of the pandemic under our belts and some easing of restrictions on the horizon, it looks like the 2021 season will be a fun and almost “normal” swim season. Safety is still top priority, so please be sure to read through this entire email and see our updated guidelines on the website.
