“Masks covering the nose and mouth are still required to enter and remain in the Rec Center, regardless of vaccination status. Masks are required on the pool deck, however can be removed when swimming,” according to the Rec Center website. “Bandanas and masks with exhalation valves will not be permitted to enter the SRC.”
Staff will be cleaning areas of high contact throughout the day and deep cleaning after closing to help prevent the spread of the virus and ensure the SRC remains open. Gym wipe stations are located in all fitness areas and studios, so members are expected to wipe down any equipment they use. There will be several hand sanitizer stations throughout the center.
