- Please follow the signs at the front doors, be respectful of people’s 6-foot area.

- The changing rooms are OPEN for one person or one social bubble, MAXIMUM. (Showers and bathroom stalls are not a part of the changing room.)
- Ideally, come with your suit on. Plan ahead if you can go home wet.
- Shower before entering to the pool. Sanitation of the pool water is improved when everyone showers.
- Use provided baskets on the shelves to store belongings. Bags/clothes cannot be stored in the changing room.
- Bathroom – 5 people - 2 in the toilets, 2 in the showers, and 1 in the sink area. Be mindful, stay DOLPHIN ~ DISTANCE (6 ft) away from others while using the facilities.
