Pool Opening Tomorrow!
I am happy to officially announce that the Somerset Town Pool will open tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. In addition to the pool opening, our new membership software, Member Splash, has been set up with a preliminary site that allows Somerset residents to reserve spots. This is very important because WITHOUT A RESERVATION, YOU CANNOT ENTER THE POOL.
How it works:
Residents must use the Member Splash website to reserve a time at the pool
. Residents may log in with the following information:
user name: firstname_lastname
default password: somerset2020
Upon logging in for the first time, you will be prompted to pick a new password.
Under the heading “membership” you will see “manage account,” and under that, "manage reservations." Click on Manage Reservations. Find and select the time slot you would like to reserve. Please note that Lap Lanes and Town Pool are listed as separate facilities, so residents must select the appropriate reservation.
Reservations are for one hour time slots. After each one hour time slot, there will be a 15 minute interval where the pool can be cleaned in high touch areas, and the front desk can log residents in who have reserved the next time period.
At this time we are still working with Member Splash to make sure that account balances are transferred over to the new software. We have retained the old software to ensure that your money is accurately transferred. We will be tracking attendance at water aerobics and early morning swim to maintain accurate records. Eventually, residents will have the ability to access their own accounts, put money on their account, and see how much they have on the account - all big improvements from the previous system!
Please check the updated
Pool FAQ
, which goes into greater detail on making reservations.
In particular, please read the instructions for water aerobics
, as there is an additional step required to reserve your spot in classes.
In the meantime, I appreciate your continued patience as the staff at the pool and in the office work through the learning curve of new software, in addition to the challenges of the Coronavirus.
