Raintree Pool Open, COVID-19 Guidelines

The Raintree pool is currently open. By choosing to enter the pool area, you are entering at your own risk and understand that you could be infected with COVID-19.

Please follow the safety guidelines below. Non-compliance of these guidelines will result in pool closure.

  1. Practice social distancing and keep at least 6 feet (2 meters) between your party and others.
  2. Bring your own hand sanitizer.
  3. Bring your own disinfectant wipes to wipe down table surfaces, chairs and anything you touch in the restroom.
  4. Chairs and chaise lounges must be covered with a towel.

Please do not use the pool, hot tub (spa), and/or pool area if you feel unwell or are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. Owners and renters should evaluate their risk in determining whether to use the pool, hot tub (spa) or the pool area.

Remember to wash your hands often.

Don’t forget to put down the umbrella.

If you see lightning while in the pool, exit the water immediately and use the “30 second-30 minute” rule to determine when it is safe to go back into the water. Count to 30 and listen for thunder. If thunder is heard, do not go back into the pool for 30 minutes.
