UPDATE on COVID-19 and Valleybrook
April 30, 2020
Valuable Members of Valleybrook,
We hope that each of you are safe and well during this unprecedented pandemic.
There have been many questions surrounding the pool for the summer of 2020. We would like to address the questions surrounding how we will handle this summer.
As of the date of this letter, we are still under a state mandated stay home order. Because of this, we cannot begin our annual spring clean-up. If the order is lifted, the board will evaluate the best way to move forward.
At this time, all memberships have been placed on hold. We do not want to take money for memberships when we are uncertain of the details for the summer. If you sent a check already, please know it will be held until such time we are certain of how to move forward. No checks will be deposited without speaking to you to be sure you are aware.
Moving forward, if the governor lifts the stay at home order, we can begin clean-up and determine when opening can take place. At that time, the Board will decide how to handle memberships and a possible pro-rated fee. If the stay at home order is not lifted, we are legally bound to follow the orders.
The other issue we will face will be the summer camps. They are also bound by the governor’s orders and should they not be able to open we will lose the income necessary to be open. As you know, summer camps are the majority of our income. Losing summer camp would be devastating for this summer.
As of right now, the Suburban Swim League is planning to operate a modified summer swim season. Dual meets only will take place and no time trials or championships. This is subject to change so please stay tuned for information to follow.
These are uncertain times for everyone. We have all been affected by COVID-19 in some way. It is important to focus on what is important and look out for each other. We, as a Board, will keep you informed as we get information. We are closely monitoring what other pools, the SSL, and summer camps are doing to decide what is best for Valleybrook Swim Club and its members. Any updates will be sent out via email and the website (valleybrookswimclub.org).
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need anything. We are all in this together :)
Please be safe,
The Valleybrook Board
