Warm Water Pool Update
We wanted to provide you with an update regarding the Warm Water Pool jets. As you may be aware, we've been experiencing issues with the jets, and we want to assure you that we are actively addressing this situation. At present, the jets remain non-operational, and we understand the inconvenience this may cause as the jets are a popular amenity for many of our members. Rest assured that we are diligently working on resolving this issue to restore the Warm Water Pool to its optimal condition. Our team is currently assessing the situation and exploring options for replacement of the Warm Water Pool jets pump and motor. We are taking all necessary steps to ensure that this matter is resolved promptly and efficiently. While we cannot provide an exact timeline for the completion of this project at this moment, please be assured that we will keep you updated on our progress. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work towards a solution, and we are committed to having the situation resolved as soon as possible. Please note that the Warm Water Pool is still open for use while we work through the replacement project.

We're excited to inform you of a significant
enhancement to our pool facilities.
The installation of new chlorinators on all four

and reduced maintenance down time.
The new chlorinators assist with maintaining optimal chlorine levels, providing a healthy
and sanitary swimming environment.
