Announcement 6/9/25
We wanted to reach out with more updates for our members about recovering from the break-in and vandalism that occurred on Sunday morning. We are all anxious to get back to the pool and begin enjoying a Five Oaks summer.
-Unfortunately, the pool will not be able to reopen until Sunday at the earliest—please expect another update ahead of reopening the pool before making solid plans to come to Five Oaks. Due to contamination of the pool water, the entire pool must be drained and refilled. This process takes several days and must be done by an outside contractor.
-We want to extend sincere thanks to Rollingwood Swim Club for allowing our swim team to practice there this week. Swim team families received information from Leslie and Coach Jess about that schedule. Other individuals and businesses in the community have offered support and we are grateful!
-The messages of concern and support from membership and the broader community have been overwhelming. The love of this community for this very special place is clear and it is greatly appreciated. We ask that everyone please refrain from calling or stopping by the pool.. The management and entire staff are working very hard and are focused on getting things back to normal. Please direct any questions to [email protected] and the board will get back to you as soon as we can.

Important Reminders:
- Don't forget your ID card! Returning members (and new members that have received their ID cards) will need their ID card to enter the pool.
- Please review the rules of the pool, especially kids who recently completed 6th grade and are over 12 and can be at the pool without an adult present. We want to make sure that your children are safe and that the pool facility is kept clean. Children who do not comply with the guidelines will not be allowed to come without adult supervision and could receive a suspension, and we don't want that to happen.
- Every member and guest under 14 must pass the swim test every year before going into water over their head including the slide and diving board/deep well. The swim test can only be attempted once per day. The swim test consists of:
- Treading water for 1 minute, then immediately swimming across the wide part of the pool (without touching the wall, bottom or lane line).
- The swim should be a strong swim (not slow, struggling or being vertical in the water). Parents are responsible for supervising their non-swimming children in the pool. This requires the parent to be in the pool with small children. Even if the child is using a floatation device, parents are required to be within arm's reach.
- Guest fees must be paid in cash. They are $8 for weekdays, $10 for weekend days, and $12 for holidays including Memorial Day. Members MUST stay with guests the entire time the guests are at the pool.
- Glass & alcohol are not permitted on pool grounds.
- Unfortunately, we will not have morning lap swimming in 2025.

Announcement 5/21/24
We are very excited about the start of Summer 2024 at Five Oaks Pool! We wanted to pass along some important information in order for us to get off to a smooth start.
- Returning members (and new members that have received their ID cards) will need their ID card to enter the pool.
- New and returning members should take time to review the rules on the pool website here prior to opening. If you have children that are of the age to stay at the pool without adult supervision, this is especially important. We want to make sure that your children are safe and that the pool facility is kept clean. Children who do not comply with the guidelines will not be allowed to come without adult supervision and could receive a suspension, and we don't want that to happen.
- Swim Test: There is a swim test that every member and guest under the age of 14 must pass each year before going into water over their head (including the slide and diving board/deep well). We strongly encourage members to let their children get used to being back in the water before encouraging them to take the swim test. The swim test consists of:
- Treading water for 1 minute, then immediately swimming across the wide part of the pool (without touching the wall, bottom or lane line).
- The swim should be a strong swim (not slow, struggling or being vertical in the water). The swim test can only be attempted ONE TIME PER DAY.
- Parents are responsible for supervising their non-swimming children in the pool. This requires the parent to be in the pool with small children. Even if the child is using a floatation device, parents are required to be within arm's reach.
- At the start of the summer, we will be training new lifeguards and Cuda Cafe employees. When a guard is training, you will see an experienced guard paired up with them when they are in the guard chair. Please be patient with our Cuda Cafe staff as they learn the ropes during their first work experience.
- Guest fees are posted on the pool website here. We ONLY ACCEPT CASH - no credit cards. Please make sure that your guests are aware of this. Members MUST stay with guests the entire time the guests are at the pool. If the member leaves, the guest has to leave since the member is responsible for guests that they sign in.
- Glass & alcohol are not permitted on pool grounds.
- Lastly, new for this year, we will be closing all bathrooms 15 minutes prior to the pool closing to ensure our guards have enough time to clean them.
Announcement 5/17/24
One final reminder that the last Residency Verification is this Monday, May 20th, from 5:30-7:30pm (please arrive no later than 15 minutes before the end time).

Fall Yard Sale- September 30th 8am- 12noon (Fundraiser for the Swim & Dive teams) This is a great way to clear out some space, make some cash for the holidays, and support the teams!

Spaces will be approximately 20 feet x 17 feet (two parking spots). You will need to bring your own tables and/or chairs. Those will not be provided by the pool.

And that’s a wrap on another Five Oaks Dive Team season. To say that I’m proud of these kids is an understatement.
They showed up to practice in June when the water was freezing and the air was cool 🥶, they showed up in the rain and waited out thunderstorms ⛈️, and they woke up early all summer to get on the boards before the pool opened😴.
They were rockstars. But more importantly, they were friends, had fun and were good to each other. We had such a great season and I hope the friendships formed last a lifetime. We also had quite a few divers finish in the top 10 for their age groups at championships yesterday and I couldn’t be prouder of the team!
