2020 Tuesday August 11 Pool Reservations $12, $24, $50

DCH is excited to open the pool this summer. The pool will work differently then it has in the past. We will be opening our reservation system every Friday (at 9am) for the next week (Monday-Sunday). You can log in, book, and pay for your time slot. There will be 3 sessions per day (2.5 hours long). Family/group slots can be booked for up to 6 people. We will also have slots for 1 and 2 people. There will not be more than 27 guests at the pool at one time (up to 4 groups of 6; 1 group of 2; 1 individual at the pool per session).

Payments must be made at the time of reservation and refunds will only be given if DCH closes the pool due to inclement weather.
If you need to reschedule your time please email pool@dedhamcommunityhouse.org 72 hours in advance. We will do our best to accommodate rescheduling but cannot guarantee availability.

For a two-and-a-half-hour slot (remember to include all swimmers and non-swimmers):
Groups of 3 to 6 people: $50
Group of 2: $24 can not be combined with other groups
Individual: $12  can not be combined with other groups

 Please note the following 2020 procedures and rules for pool use:

* Your entire group must enter the pool house together. Once you are all together please proceed to the door of the pool house to sign in. Please wear a mask while signing in and we do strongly encourage masks when you are not wet or in the water. Masks are dangerous in the water and should never be worn if you are wet or are swimming. Please do not enter the pool house until a staff member has checked in your entire party.

* You will be assigned a letter group. This letter will be on the deck area your group is allowed to use during your time block. This will also be on your assigned picnic table for eating. All pool furniture and picnic tables are cleaned between swim sessions. We ask that you please throw out any garbage before leaving your area.

* We will not be selling any concessions but you are welcome to bring your own and eat them in the picnic area- NO GLASS or ALCOHOLIC beverages allowed.

* We ask that you please maintain social distancing in the water. Our lifeguards will remind you if you get too close. 

* No staff or swimmers can come to the pool if they are ill. We will be screening all staff and swimmers upon arrival at the pool.
