An Update For Our TLC Members

As the COVID-19 cases continue to decline within Tulare County we are planning to re-open when our county status reaches the Red Tier. We have updated our phased re-opening guidelines to meet the new requirements. In addition, we will have modified hours of operation until we are able to fully restore all of our previous services. Please continue to check our website and social media for updates on an official re-opening date. (Feb 22, 2021)

Based upon Medical Fitness Association Guidelines of 100 sq. ft. per person, 550 persons, including staff. We are setting member capacity at 500.

Do you have to wait to work out?
We do anticipate that with the initial screening, there will be a short wait to get into the facility, but we do not anticipate anything beyond that during this phase.

If the pool & all lanes are full, are people allowed to sit on the benches on pool deck and wait for the 30-minute time limit?
Yes, members will be allowed to wait on the benches, as long as they are maintaining appropriate physical distancing.

How will you monitor social distancing and time limits in the pools?
We are asking members to physically distance themselves and self-monitor their times,
however our Aquatic Coordinator will monitor usage at peak times.

Why is there a 30-minute limit on lap lanes?
We are placing the 30-minute limit to allow as many members access to the pool as possible and prevent the need to schedule appointments.

Can you reserve swim times or times for the lap pool?
We will not be reserving swim times lanes during our initial opening, however if it appears that this is necessary, we will put an appointment process in place.

Will we have to bring in our own kick boards and swim devices?

Will there be any warm water aerobics?
In Phase 2, there will be limited warm water aerobics classes.

Is towel service still going to happen?
Yes, we will have towels available for those members that are enrolled in that service.

Where can members change after exiting the pool?
We are asking members to come prepared to swim and if they need to change afterwards the locker rooms and restrooms will still be available.

SAFETY

Are masks required?
Due to the recent rise in COVID-19 cases locally and our Governor’s recent mandate, BEGINNING 7/13/2020 Face Masks WILL BE required while in the facility, except for when performing high-intensity exercise.
