CLARIFICATIONS ON GUIDELINES:

TENNIS:
Tennis courts may have no more than 4 people on a court at one time, and those who are playing together MUST RESIDE IN THE SAME HOUSEHOLD. Social distancing is required for those who do not reside in the same household. (example: one household on the lower court, one household on the upper court.) The tennis courts will be on a first-come-first-served basis FOR MEMBERS ONLY!

POOL:
The pool will re-open for exercise purposes only during Phase 1. (This first phase of re-opening does NOT include family swim or classes for Masters/Whitecaps.)


Pool Hours During Phase 1 of Re-Opening:

Tuesday - Friday 8:00 am - 7:00 pm
Saturday & Sunday 12:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Guidelines:
The pool will be open to WHAC members only who are ages 18+. (Guest passes will not be accepted at this time.)
The pool will be limited to 4 people total at one time.
Only odd lanes will be open (Lanes 1, 3, 5 and 7). All even lanes will be closed (Lanes 2, 4 and 6).
Only one person per open lane will be permitted.
Members may sign up to reserve a 1-hour time slot to swim at WHAC. Sign-ups are REQUIRED. No walk-ins allowed.
Members are limited to one time slot per day to ensure all members have an opportunity to sign up.
Every member who reserves a time slot must also sign a waiver releasing WHAC of all liability related to COVID-19.
Members will be required to wait in their vehicles in the parking lot until their chosen time slot begins. (No loitering in the parking lot.)
A staff member will be at the check-in desk to ensure that members who enter have signed up.
The bathrooms and showers will remain closed to members.
Members will not be permitted to use the water fountain or the suit dryer.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. We are unable to be flexible with the guidelines above, but we are hopeful that we will be allowed more flexibility in the near future. We will send signups for only a few days at a time in order to determine whether or not our guidelines are working in a responsible way, and in order to anticipate and react to any changes in guidelines from Governor Abbott and Mayor Dyson in a timely manner.

To Our WHAC Community:

There is a very active effort being made within our city to fight against the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). As a responsible facility, we need to take the appropriate steps to ensure the health and safety of our athletes, members and staff.

Therefore, following the leads of Mayor Adler and Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt, EISD, AISD, CDC Guidelines, Federal recommendations and USA Swimming recommendations, we will be closing WHAC through April 5, 2020 and suspending all practices and activities, including White Caps and Masters, during this time.


Thank you all for your understanding and patience throughout this unprecedented time. We will continue to provide updates to our WHAC community as soon as they become available.

Please continue to do your part in keeping our community safe, especially the most vulnerable.

Thank you,
WHAC Board

To Our WHAC Community:

Due to rising concerns surrounding COVID-19, and recently confirmed cases in Austin, the WHAC Board and management have decided with an abundance of caution to temporarily close our facility until the end of Spring Break, effective immediately. This decision is a proactive one to safeguard the health of our WHAC community members and WHAC staff, and to allow our local authorities and health officials time to evaluate and direct the public.

We realize this may cause disappointment within our community, but the health and safety of our WHAC community, our employees, and their families is paramount.

We will continue to send updates on any additional closures.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and cooperation.

Stay safe and healthy!

Sincerely,

WHAC Board
