IF THERE IS A COVID-19 EXPOSURE EVENT AT THE POOL

The COVID-positive person (“MEMBER”) should notify the President of the Eno Valley Board of Directors at [email protected] (“MANAGEMENT”) as soon as possible. In turn MANAGEMENT will strive to keep the identity of the MEMBER anonymous. If the MEMBER was on the property of Eno Valley in the 14 days prior to testing positive, MANAGEMENT will send an announcement to all members and staff to inform them that a member has tested positive and that that member was on the property on specific dates, so that each member and staff person may make their own decisions regarding the exposure.  MANAGEMENT will coordinate with pool staff to execute a cleaning and disinfecting procedure following CDC guidelines.  After an exposure event, members and staff shall follow NC DHHS Quarantine Guidance for the General Community:https://covid19.ncdhhs.gov/about-covid-19/testing/quarantine-guidance-general-community.

Are guests allowed?

Yes, guests will be allowed according to the rules stated in the pool rules.

Can I use the tennis courts?

The tennis courts are open year-round for use by the membership. Please follow state and local rules and guidelines regarding the number of persons in a gathering and social distancing. Per the City of Durham, we are able to continue to use the tennis courts as a private club and for members only. Our guidelines are that no more than 2 people OR a single family unit may occupy each court at a time.

Are there dedicated times for adult lap swimming?

After weekday evening swim team practice, pool management will leave a roped lane in place reserved for adult lap swimming. After the swim team season is over (early July), a roped swim lane will be established upon request in the evenings at roughly the same time. Depending on crowds and staffing, management may honor requests to established a roped swim lane after morning practice for an hour. Use of the roped lane will be available on a first come, first served basis. Additional roped lanes may be established at the discretion of pool management.
