Every shift has an on-staff cleaner to sanitize high touch areas in our lobby and pool areas.

  • Our pools are disinfected with chlorine to provide the safest swimming environment
    • The CDC states that proper operation, maintenance and disinfection of the water with chlorine should remove or inactivate the virus
  • Our state-of-the-art ventilation system allows fresh air to continuously circulate into our building, further minimizing the spread of any airborne virus.
    • Industry experts note that indoor pools are far superior at minimizing virus transmission than most indoor spaces.
