Hand Hygiene and Respiratory Etiquette:
We encourage all patrons, and swimmers to wash their hands often and cover their coughs and sneezes.
Cloth Face Coverings:
We encourage the use of cloth face coverings as feasible. Face coverings are most essential in times when physical distancing is difficult. When wearing face coverings do not wear them in the water. Cloth face coverings can be difficult to breathe through when they’re wet. Pool monitors are not advised to enforce as they are not licensed health professionals.
Stay Home:
We are requesting patrons, and swimmers to stay home (if they have symptoms of COVID-19, have tested positive for COVID-19, or were exposed to someone with COVID-19 within the last 14 days) and until they have been given medical clearance to discontinue isolation.
Onsite Management (Pool Monitors) have been advised to shut down the pool facility when they deem necessary for the safety of them, our vendors, and residents.
Onsite Management (Pool Monitors) will not address accounting issues, you must call the management office or email them during normal business hours.
Onsite Management (Pool Monitors) will not answer questions regarding the waiver (Liability Release Form), you must call the management office or email them during normal business hours.
We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we do our best to open the pool facility during the COVID-19 Pandemic reopening process. Please social distance while waiting in line to enter the facility.
Created: May 2020
Reminder as to why we had to update the pool rules please see below:
Under current state requirements the pool occupancy must not exceed 25%. The association will provide two 3 hour time blocks for swimming with a 3 hour break for cleaning and rest for our monitors. The pool will close promptly at 2:00pm daily for cleaning. We request that you respect the time and vacate the area at closure so that the staff can clean the restrooms and test the pool chemicals to make sure it is ready for reopening later in the day.
The CDC encourages social distancing, and cloth masks, this will not be enforced by association staff as they are not medical professionals. These are CDC recommendations and we ask that you please respect other residents space when visiting the pool.
The KCV pool occupancy bather load as identified by the City of Grand Prairie is 48 people. We understand the pool area is very large, the pool itself is not that large and occupancy is based on water surface area. Therefore, under current restrictions only 12 people may enter the pool facility for use at any time, this does not include the two pool monitors.
You will be required to sign a waiver (Liability Release Form) to enter the pool facility whether you intend to swim or not. The form link will be posted at the bottom of this announcement.
The Association will not put out any furniture at this time. Permanent furniture will be roped off until further notice. Toys will not be permitted, this includes floats and rafts. Food or drink will not be allowed inside the facility with the exception of water. You can bring your own chair if you would like. Any items left behind will be thrown away.
All adults 18 and older will be required to show a valid state identification, pool management staff will verify that your account is current, you have an active pool card, and that you have filled out a waiver to enter the pool facility. If you do not have an active pool card you will be asked to leave and contact the association management office. The best way to reach the management office is via email, please make sure to include your address and a good contact number.
At this time the Association requests that only residents use the pool during the first phase of reopening. In time the pool may open up to residents and their guests, but for the time being
NO
guests are allowed.
We ask that you please respect other KCV residents as they will likely want to swim as well. Currently we are restricting swim times for residents to
1 hour a day
. This request is at the direction of the Board of Directors. Our goal is that these times can increase as well as the occupancy numbers, however for now we are restricted to the current occupancy guidelines in place by the Governor and the City of Grand Prairie. When it comes to occupancy restrictions, please note that if the Governor of the state of Texas increases the occupancy levels we at Kirby Creek Village must go by what the City of Grand Prairie says. So if the City of Grand Prairie does not extend and increase occupancy numbers then we are required to follow what they advise until further notice.
Please note that the pool will continue to remain closed on Mondays as that is when our vendor comes out to mow.
We will keep in constant contact with the City of Grand Prairie as we proceed through the pool season. If modifications to restrictions become available we will work with the Board of Directors and Association Attorneys to reevaluate our current plan of action. Updates will be posted on the website, sent via the newsletter and posted at the pool facility.
