Sedona AZ (July 27, 2020) – After taking precautions to ensure the health and safety of city employees and patrons, beginning Monday, July 27, 2020, the Sedona Community Pool will reopen. For two weeks, the pool was closed due to two lifeguards being exposed to someone who had COVID-19. Both lifeguards were tested for COVID-19 and those tests came back negative.
As a reminder, the pool has limited capacity for all programs. As such, programs have specific time slots for use, different than being able to just drop in:
- Adult Lap Swim is limited to one person per lane, for a total eight users at one time.
- Aqua Fitness and StarBabies/StarTots classes are limited to 20 participants.
- Recreation swimming, which for the rest of the summer season will only be offered once a day, is limited to 40 guests.
Participants are encouraged to secure their swim times by reserving a spot online via SportSites by going to www.sedonaaz.gov/pool and clicking on “Available Pool Offerings.” Calling ahead and walking up will only be accepted if there is room after those who used SportSites are given priority.
Additionally, the pool will continue to implement strict safety and hygiene protocols to adhere to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations. Patrons will be reminded of these protocols like wearing masks, pre-screening before entering the facility and keeping physical distance.
The current summer season’s schedule is through August 1, 2020 and details regarding an extended season will be announced next week.
