Wembly is Open
Finally, we are approaching Phase III here in RVA!! What does this mean for Wembly? Here are the changes that you will see at Wembly beginning Wednesday, July 1st (excluding 4th of July weekend):
Phase III protocols
- We will no longer require you to sign up for a time slot (except for 4th of July weekend)
- You will still need to check in at the front gate with the manager on duty
- Each membership may bring up to 2 guests ($5.00 per guest to be paid in cash upon entry – exact change preferred to reduce contact between members and staff). All guests must have a completed COVID waiver on file PRIOR to attending Wembly. All minor guests must have a COVID waiver completed by a parent or legal guardian. The waiver can be found on the Pool Info/COVID page of the website. (**This policy change will begin on MONDAY, June 29th)
- You will still need to bring your own chairs, but we will NOT be closing the pool. The guards will sanitize the tables as members leave.
- The rules of social distancing are still in effect, so please be sure all members of your party are aware of this. Social distancing is strictly the responsibility of the members.
- The diving board will remain closed as sanitizing the handles between each use is not possible and the health of our members remains our top priority.
- The lane lines will be removed except for the Lane 1 lap lane as always.
- The concession stand will remain closed at this time.
4th of July weekend
So that we don’t exceed the occupancy guidelines, we are continuing the Sign Up Genius for Friday – Sunday of 4th of July weekend. We have estimated our occupancy around 200 people, but we feel that 125 is about where we need to be to continue following the social distancing protocols. You will notice on the Sign Up Genius for 4th of July weekend that there are no area sign ups, it’s just a max number per time slot. Please be sure to sign up for the number of people in your party who will be attending. If you are bringing guests, please put this in the Comment section ( and be sure they have a completed COVID waiver prior to attending). By signing up guests, you are agreeing to pay for those guests even if they do not attend. With limited space, we need to be sure that all members have an equal chance to attend and bring guests and we want to avoid “no shows”. Each membership may bring up to 2 guests and may only sign up for ONE time slot each day of the holiday weekend. As always, if there are available time slots after 8pm the evening before, you may sign up for an additional time slot. Please be aware that there are 18 tables placed at least 10 feet apart around the pool deck and they are first-come, first serve. There will NOT be a cookout this holiday weekend.
Membership
If you haven’t paid your dues for this summer or have placed your membership on COVID hold, and would like to activate your membership, please know that we are continuing to waive late fees and would love to see you at Wembly this summer. Please send us an email and we will be happy to get your membership switched back to active. If you have friends or family who are interested in joining Wembly, this would be a great time because we are waiving the $500 initiation fee for the 2020 summer season. A family could join this summer for $450 compared to $950 ($500+family membership fees). Such a great deal!
The Sign up Genius can be found on the Pool Info/COVID page of the website.
As always, we want to thank you for your continued patience as we navigate the ever changing landscape that is COVID summer 2020!
Thank you for your patience during this time!
