Dear New Member:
Welcome to PG Pool! As President of the Board I want to extend the whole Board’s thanks to you for joining and we all very much look forward to meeting you in the coming days and weeks.
Prince George’s Community Pool is run on a co-operative basis, which means that members take responsibility for much of the work that goes into running a pool. All memberships are required to contribute to the co-op effort. Presently, the co-op obligation is set at a minimum of five hours of labor per season towards some aspect of running or managing the facilities or $100.
Co-op Jobs—To fulfill the co-op obligation members may choose to commit to a seasonal job, work a few hours at a time at any number of scheduled workdays or scheduled events or recruit new members (worth two (2) hours per new membership). Workdays occur on various Saturdays and Sundays, March through October. Members are reminded to keep track of their hours by alerting the co-op overseers by email. For information about documenting your co-op hours or requesting a refund, see the Co-op Refund page. A refund will not be made without a request in writing. Memberships with one or two adults may opt to prepay a $100 ($50 for senior memberships) fee in lieu of working the five hours. (Each aditional adult is another $100 or five hours work.) The co-op payment or work obligation is due before the pool opens each season. For a list of co-op jobs see the Co-op Jobs List page. We are, of course, completely open to people completing more than the co-op requirement, and/or donating the co-op fee to the pool. If you do the latter, please let us know so that we can acknowledge this in writing.
Toddler Swim—Five mornings a week! The wading pool is open five mornings a week (except on holidays) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (NB: Until June 7, the grounds do not iopen until 4 p.m., so the grounds will not remain open). Adult guests for toddler swim are not limited by the 4 time rule (see below), but must leave the grounds after toddler swim ends at noon – or pay the additional guest fee and fill out a guest form.
[The non-member rates for the toddler swim period are: $1 Adults, $3 children]
Guests—Adult guests are limited to four (4) visits per season, per guest. (If they want to come more often, they should join up as members.) Guests must be accompanied by a member, and will not be admitted without the member present. Children are not limited on a number of guest visits. Guest fees may be paid in cash or check.
[Guest rates: $5/adults, $3 children (ages 2-17), non-swimmers $1, under age 2- free]
