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. 

KGRC Member Work Day: Sign-Up is Open!

As recently announced, KGRC is restarting our tradition of holding a Member Work Day to help spruce up the Club and grounds as we enter the final stretch before Opening Day.  Please sign-up to join us this Saturday, May 8^th to reconnect with old pool friends, meet new ones, and help complete small projects around your Club.

Work Day & Summer Status

We are just 3 weeks away from Opening Day at KGRC! With the weather (sometimes) getting warmer, we are all looking forward to getting back to the pool and into the water. The Facilities crew was hard at work getting a new pump installed and making the pool pump room more efficient over the winter. The pool is now full and clean and ready for action!
