JCC pool changes for the 2020 season

Updated September 8, 2020

The JCC Pool is closed for the 2020 season.

The 2020 outdoor swimming season is finally here! We can't wait to welcome you back to our outdoor heated pools. In addition to the late start this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, you'll notice a variety of changes designed to help ensure your health and safety. Yes, things will be quite different this year. However, we are confident that you will still have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the water and sun.

As with the rest of the JCC, our top priority is to open the pool in the safest way possible. The pool's capacity will be reduced to accommodate current health regulations. We've also adjusted pool hours slightly to accommodate more frequent cleaning.

Specifically, please note this year's following new health and safety protocols.

• Please make reservations in advance to use the pool to prevent overcrowding. Make a reservation now.
• All swimmers will undergo a health check before being permitted in the pool area. Anyone with a fever of 100.4° F or higher or symptoms of illness will not be permitted to stay.
• Social distancing with lounge chairs/tables to keep families separate.
• Time in between reservations to allow for cleaning of chairs/equipment.
• Staff/lifeguards will wear masks.
• Specific times for semi-private and private swim lessons so there will be no mixing with recreational swimming.

Make the most of your membership by using the pool to its fullest this summer. Come swim after work, on weekends with family and friends or after early morning workouts. Incorporating the pool into your personal fitness training will add a new dimension to your exercise routine.

Like last year, we're offering semi-private and private learn-to-swim lessons. However, all group swimming lessons have been canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Because the JCC pool is a members-only benefit, please remember to bring your membership card to the pool and check-in at the lifeguard desk upon entering the pool area.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the pool, please contact us at 315-445-2360 or info@jccsyr.org.

Thank you for being a JCC of Syracuse member. We hope to see you pool side!
