|
|
We hope you had a chance to read the email that Asphalt Green sent earlier today regarding changes to COVID-19 protocols that take effect Monday, June 28, 2021. Here are the changes that most significantly impact AGUA Masters:
- Reservations will no longer be required for AGUA Masters practices. You must continue to make reservations through Sunday, June 27.
- The health questionnaire will no longer be required before every visit.
- Select locker room amenities will return. Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, blow dryers, and tissues will be back.
Additionally, please note that the following COVID-19 protocols remain in effect:
- Our indoor mask policy remains in effect. All swimmers are required to wear face coverings when traveling to and from the pool deck. Face coverings may only be removed when entering the water. Masks are required in all shared spaces, including locker rooms, lobbies, elevators, and stairways.
- Contact tracing will continue indefinitely.
- Enhanced cleaning procedures and air purification measures continue.
- Towel service remains on hold but will return Monday, July 5.

AGUA Masters Swimmer Christine Rivera Shares her Favorite Recipes
“I use this smoothie for a quick breakfast or snack - it’s super filling. Sometimes I also add a protein scoop or hemp hearts.”
“This is a delicious vegan red lentil curry. I’ll throw in chickpeas and spinach, but you can make it your own. Plus I love that the chef came up with this on a 20 degree winter day in New York!"

Masks are Still Required in the Pool Area – Although mask mandates in New York State ended May 19, many of our visitors are children who are still not eligible to receive the vaccine. Our goal is to update our mask policies as soon as possible, but we must do so in a way that ensures safety for everyone who comes through our doors.
