Rules & Regulations

To All Mariners Cove Residents:

The county has recently established new guidelines as it relates to the use of community pools.  We are no longer required to have monitors present at the pool for all hours the pool is open.  However, associations are required to do periodic spot checks to ensure CDC guidelines relating to cleanliness and social distancing are adhered to.
Residents need to clean off any chair or chaise lounge after use with the cleaning supplies that are provided.

Therefore, we have updated regulations for the use of the amenities within our community as follows.  Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in the loss of use or closure of amenities.  These change are effective immediately.

All individuals using the pool and pool area do so at their own risk.  While the measures that have been put in place are meant to help keep you safe, we cannot guarantee that you are out of harm’s way.

Pool & Pool Area Use:

• Anyone using the pool or pool area does so at their own peril.
• Pool access is for residents only.
• Anyone with Covid-19 symptoms may not enter the pool area.
• People with confirmed with Covid-19 are asked to alert Harbor Management if they had been present at the pool within 14 days of falling ill.

Pool:  Hours of Operation:

• Mon – Fri: 10:00 a.m – 6:00 p.m.
• The pool area will be closed to all residents between the hours of 6:00 p.m. & 10:00 a.m.
• Hours subject to change based upon ability to comply with all PBC Executive Order Guidelines

Pool Capacity Limitations:  
“Pool capacity shall be limited to ensure that social distancing in accordance with CDC Guidelines is maintained at all times”

• Maximum of 10 persons.
• We hope that all residents (young and old alike) are considerate of others and do not spend prolongated time in the water while others are waiting.  Let’s give everyone a chance to enjoy the water.  If necessary, time in the pool will be limited to accommodate numbers.

No Guests Allowed:

• While we are mandated to follow CDC guidelines we are limiting the pool and pool area to resident usage only.  This means that the only people that are allowed to use the pool area are those that currently live in the Association.  Non-residents are not allowed regardless of numbers at the pool. This policy will be strictly enforced.  (Essential care givers, i.e. health aides, sitters, etc. are exempted.)

Chaise Lounges: 6 feet apart:
“Pool deck seating or lounging shall be restricted to ensure social distancing in accordance with CDC Guidelines.”

• Chaise lounges must be spaced 6 feet apart for anyone not living in the same household.  Chairs must remain in place for social distancing.
• Residents need to clean off any chair or chaise lounge after use with the cleaning supplies that are provided.

Other:

• Restrooms:  There will be one stall available for use and will be cleaned.

Clubhouse and Gym: 

• The clubhouse and Gym will remain closed to residents for the immediate future.

Gates:
·         You still need your pool key to access pool area.  Gates must be closed after you enter/exit.  Do NOT prop the gates open.  Gates are required by law to remain closed for safety reasons.

Please note:  All individuals using the pool and pool area do so at your their own risk.  While the measures that have been put in place are meant to help keep you safe, we cannot guarantee that you are out of harm’s way.

Per Palm Beach County Executive Order 2020-007
“…users of Community Pools bear the responsibility of such compliance and assume the full risk of utilizing the Community Pools.”
“…In the event that repeated violations occur, staff authorized to manage the Community Pool, or their designee, shall take corrective action, including, but not limited to, closing the Community Pool, limiting access to the Community Pool on a reservation basis only, and/or limiting access to Community Pools to times when staff is present to monitor for compliance.”
