Welcome to the 2019 Season!
Summer 2019 is just days away!!! The Five Oaks Pool Staff and Board of Directors have been working hard to get the pool ready to open. We are so excited to see all of our returning members and meet all of our new members. Some information regarding the opening of the pool for the season.
* Opening Hours: We will be open Friday, May 24 from 4 - 8 for swimming, dropping off chairs, signing up for swim lessons - dive team - swim team, scheduling parties!!
Saturday, May 25: Hours 10:30 am - 8:30 pm
Sunday, May 26: Hours 11 am - 8:00 pm
Monday, May 27: Happy Memorial Day! Open: 10:30 am - 8:00 pm. We will have a DJ and a moon bounce, inflatable obstacle course, free hot dog and chips starting at noon - ending at 2 or until we run out (one each free for members only). Guest fee - $10.00 holiday guest fee
Please see the pool website for hours for the remainder of May (we will be sending out more emails soon). Thanks to those of you who came to the ID/Residency Verification nights and to our board members who volunteered to help those nights.
RUBBER/PLASTIC PANTS: Due to health department regulations we require children who are not COMPLETELY potty trained to wear a fresh swim diaper and rubber/plastic pants (snug). We have a limited supply of rubber pants for sale in the pool office for $5.00. They can be used for the whole summer. You can also purchase them in Walmart, Amazon and other stores.
Swim test: We have revised the swim test slightly. Information will be posted at the pool on the bulletin board. The swim test is for members and guests that want to go in water over their head, go off of the diving boards or slide. Guests will be given a wrist band when they pass. We start fresh each year so even if you passed it last year you will need to take it again. It will include treading water for 1 minute then swimming the width of the pool unassisted without goggles, on stomach using a stroke. We know that parents LOVE to see their children go off of the diving boards. We have run into some issues in the past with parents "pushing" their kids to do it when they don't feel ready. Our priority is to provide a safe environment for members and guests. Sometimes it takes children a few days/weeks to get back to some of the skills they demonstrated last year.
Guest Fees
When bringing guests, the member must be present on the pool grounds with their guests and the member is responsible for their guests.
The guest fees also apply to non-swimming guests.
$6 During the week
$8 On weekends
$2 Children under 2 (at all times)
$5 After 5:00PM
$10 On Holidays (Memorial Day, 4th Of July, Labor Day) - All Day - there is no discount after 5:00 PM
Cash and checks ONLY - Credit Cards are not accepted.
Please take a few minutes prior to your first visit to the pool to visit the pool website and read over the pool rules. Important reminders: NO Glass, NO alcohol (this includes putting alcohol in an alternate container!) on pool grounds.
We love that so many middle and high school kids spend time at the pool. Please make sure that you have a conversation with your children about following the rules, respecting the staff, bringing guests and cleaning up after themselves. The privilege for kids to come to the pool without an adult will be revoked if necessary (hopefully not).
Please make sure that you have uploaded your photo using the instructions provided in a previous email.
Special thanks to:
* Tim Kramer our awesome Vice-President of Pool and Grounds who has spent countless hours this off season dealing with a number of projects. (including finishing up the clean up from the flood damage).
* Tish Pehr - One of our members that volunteers to take care of planting of flowers in our planters and pots. They look great!
* Paige Adelsberger and Emily Ames, two of our lifeguards who have painted the Barracuda mascot back on the bath house wall! :)
We can't wait to see everyone in a few days!!
