During the COVID-19 pandemic pool guidelines are issued by the State Department of Health.  While they tend to follow the Executive Orders of Gov. Murphy, there can be a delay between the issuing of Executive Orders and the updating of guidelines by the State Department of Health.  We will continue to provide updates as we receive them.  The 2021 Pool Rules and Regulation Booklet can be used as a reference while the 2022 Pool Rules and Regulations Book is being updated for the upcoming season.

Executive Order No. 241 (2021) and 242 (2021) amended masking requirements.  Individuals are no longer required to wear masks in these public settings, though unvaccinated individuals are strongly encouraged to do so.  All pool staff have will continue to operate with the necessary materials and information to maintain COVID-19 awareness, continue routine cleaning and disinfecting while performing their assigned duties in a manner that promotes the safety of both the public and staff.

Community Pools and Aquatic Recreational Facilities are now permitted to operate at full capacity, without regards to social distancing.  These facilities still encourage unvaccinated individuals to continue social distancing and the Pool will still maintain best practices that support social distancing throughout the facility.

As we enter the 2022 pool season, we remind you that: 

• Face coverings should NOT be worn in the water (increases the risk of drowning).
• Hands should be washed frequently with soap and water.
• Hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol should be used if soap and water are not available.
• Individuals must stay home if they are sick.
