In an attempt to return to BC (Before Covid), Dollar Point will be hosting a smaller 4th of July carnival. There will not be any food or drinks served and no bounce house either, but plenty of other festivities. Please see the attached flyer below for the event schedule. We look forward to seeing all the happy members!

Pool Opening, June 16, 2020
Dear Members,
We are pleased to announce that this Tuesday, June 16, 2020, the Dollar Point pool will be open from 7:00am-7:00pm for 1-hour reservation lap swimming/exerciseonly. We thank everyone for their patience with this announcement, and we will be taking reservations immediately. Admittance to the pool is by reservation only, reservations can be made 2 days in advance by emailing dollarpointhoa@gmail.com. In the email, please include your Dollar Point address and how many people you want in a lane. You must receive a confirmation from the office for your lane and time before you can come to the pool. A link to the reservation sheet will be on the Dollar Point website, dollarpoint.org, at Pool Reservations underneath the Recreation tab. This document will be a live document where you can see the spots that are available. THIS IS NOT HOW YOU MAKE RESERVATIONS, to make a reservation you must email dollarpointhoa@gmail.com. There will also be a live document embedded on the website, this will need a few minutes to update after a reservation is made. It is best to always check the link to the live document as well. You may call the office to see if a cancellation has occurred for a walk-in, but do not show up without confirmation. Please understand that the following rules are what we have to comply by in order to open the pool. The rules are subject to change as Placer County or the State of California gives more leeway towards pools.
Every member will receive a maximum of 6 hours of pool time a week (Monday-Sunday). This can be broken up by 1 hour or by 2 hour slots. Every hour, there cannot exceed a total of seven (7) people allowed in the pool at one time. This means that during any hour, only two lanes of five can have two swimmers from the same household in the same lane. We will allow a max of three (3) people from the same household into the pool area. This is solely for parents who need to supervise their kids while they swim, not for sunbathing or laying out. We may not be able to accommodate desired time slots for reservations because of our limited pool capacity. Reservations can be made for a maximum of two hours for one lane. We ask that lanes 1 and 5 be reserved for people who need assistance entering and exiting the pool as they have the stairs.
You must wear a face mask when you arrive to check in with the office with your ID card to receive a wristband and sign a liability waiver. You will be screened before you can enter the pool. Any person showing COVID-19 like symptoms will be turned away from the pool. Reservations will be considered cancelled if you do not arrive after 15 minutes. Each lane will have a table assigned to it to place possessions, please allow 10 minutes for the tables and railings to be cleaned after each reservation. For example, if your reservation starts at 9:00am, arrive at the facility at 8:50am. You will be able to get into the pool at 9:00am. At the end of your reservation slot, you will need to be exiting the facility by 9:50am to accommodate for cleaning time. Everyone will enter through the main pool gate and exit through the wooden side gate. Please follow the social distancing markings on the ground to ensure you are maintaining at least 6’ distance.
Bocce ball will be allowed for an hour and half max reservations, email dollarpointhoa@gmail.com to make reservations. A max of four (4) people from the same household will be allowed for a game and you must use your own equipment.
All tennis reservations will by calling the office as well.
THERE WILL BE NO:
-SHOWERS
-DIVING BOARD
-SWIM EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE FOR USE (PULLBUOY, NOODLES, KICKBOARDS, ETC) you may bring your own
-PLAY STRUCTURE USE
-PICNIC TABLES
-LAWN USE
We do hope that when we receive more information from Placer County or California that we can loosen these restrictions but please keep in mind this is what we have to adhere by, as of now, in order for the pool to open.
Thank you,
Dollar Point Association Management
