Just go to a friend or family members home, many people have inground pools now. My very strict HOA finally allowed the tennis courts to open but, the playgrounds/restrooms, etc. are still closed.

Happy Hobbying

From the CDC...for what that's worth.
"There is no evidence that the virus that causes COVID-19 can be spread to people through the water in pools, hot tubs, spas, or water play areas. Proper operation and maintenance (including disinfection with chlorine and bromine) of these facilities should inactivate the virus in the water.
While there is ongoing community spread of COVID-19 of the virus that causes COVID-19, it is important for individuals as well as owners and operators of these facilities to take steps to ensure health and safety:
  • Everyone should follow local and state guidance that may determine when and how recreational water facilities may operate.
  • Individuals should continue to protect themselves and others at recreational water venues both in and out of the water – for example, by practicing social distancing and good hand hygiene.
  • In addition to ensuring water safety and quality, owners and operators of community pools, hot tubs, spas, and water play areas should follow the interim guidance for businesses and employers for cleaning and disinfecting their community facilities."

My gym reopened today and that includes the pools.

Locker rooms and showers will remain closed for the time being.

Trying to learn from the politicians, I have been lobbying my HOA that the swimming pool should be opened without delay. Their response: we are waiting for the advise of our lawyer.

LMAO,
A lawyer is going to tell them to fill that fucker in.
Pools are a huge liability.

Doesn't have anything to do with any viruses.
They are stalling.
You have to really enjoy a pool to put up with the maintenance.
I have buried two pools.
