Safety measures will still be in place to maintain public health. Face masks are required for those two and older unless in the pool. Groups must stay together and remain socially distant from others. Saunas, hot tubs, baby pools and shared equipment will all be unavailable. Slides and diving boards will be open as well as bathrooms and bathhouses.
The Martin Luther King Jr. Indoor Aquatic Center will not be opening, due to renovations that are planned to end by September.
“We are pleased to be able to welcome County residents back to our pools,” said Montgomery County Recreation Director Robin Riley in the announcing press release. “Things will look very different this year as our staff has been working hard to ensure that we have the necessary processes and procedures in place to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all.”
