Tuckahoe Recreation Club | Outdoor Pool Temperature Closure Policy
The Outdoor Pool will be open for normal operations if the outside air temperature is 35°F or above, and closed for operations if the outside air temperature is below 35°F.
The process for determining temperature and Outdoor Pool status is as stated below:
- The source used by all staff and members for temperature data will be weather.com and inputting the Club’s zip code of 22101. Other weather data sources are not considered in this process.
- The temperature will be evaluated by this source every morning 5 minutes prior to opening.
- If the temperature is below 35°F at that time, the outdoor pool will remain closed until we reevaluate at the top of the next hour.
- If at the top of the next hour, the temperature is 35°F or above, the outdoor pool will open for use.
- If at the top of the next hour, the temperature is still below 35°F, the outdoor pool will remain closed and the temperature will be reevaluated again at the top of the next hour.
This policy applies only to the Outdoor Pool. The Winter Bath House lobby, locker rooms, and Indoor Pool will remain open during normal operating hours unless broader weather or safety conditions require additional Club closures.
Routine temperature-related Outdoor Pool closures and reopenings will not generate Club-wide notifications. Members are encouraged to check the current temperature on www.weather.com using ZIP code 22101 or contact the Front Desk at 703-356-1205 to confirm the Outdoor Pool’s current status.
This policy will be in effect for all Outdoor Pool operating hours.
