Here is the quick summary:

• Updated pool rules remove many restrictions put in place in response to COVID-19 (see below)

• Pool opening day has been re-scheduled to May 22nd (see separate article)

• Pool Open House for all Ashton Wood residents to be held on May 22nd (see separate article)

• Badges and gate code information can be picked up at the Open House or will be delivered to your home by the HOA in the coming days

Here is a summary of the pool rules changes set during the May 10th meeting of the HOA Board.

As you know, 2021 has been an interesting year.  COVID-19 has required all of us to make changes in how we work, how we travel, how we communicate, how we worship…it has impacted nearly every aspect of our lives.

As we approached summer, the HOA Board faced some tough decisions about pool operations.  We announced a few weeks ago a set of rules based on the situation at the time, which has changed. Due to changes in advice from Georgia government, we have made adjustments to the pool rules.

Adjustments made to the pool rules since last year, and since those announced earlier this year, are summarized below. Please read all the pool rules posted on the web site, as the list below is a partial summary.

-        No Waiver Required

-        Guests do not need to be related to you

-        Maximum of 10 members in your group at the pool, including your guests

-        Please only use the pool for a total of an hour if others are waiting due to posted capacity limits

-        Current posted capacity limit is 25 persons

-        Grill is available for use

-        Garbage receptacle is available for use

We hope that these revised rules and our approach will encourage your use of the swim-tennis facilities.
