HRARA Website

Members need to maintain their user account on the HRARA website. The website is used to manage membership registrations, guest passes, and admission to the pool facility at the front desk of the Upper Pool House. It is also used to both communicate to the general public and to serve its shareholder members. Members may access member benefits such as the weekly newsletter, deck reservations, swim lessons, water aerobics, and tickets to special events from the website.

Board of Directors

The HRARA Board of Directors is charged with managing the daily operations of the facility, ensuring safety for members and guests, and advocating an ever-improving atmosphere. The officers of HRARA include a President, Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary, all of whom are elected by the Board of Directors. Officers are elected annually and hold office until the first meeting of the Board of Directors held after the annual meeting and election. Current members of the Board of Directors are listed on the Holmes Run Pool website.

Pool Management

The HRARA Board of Directors has delegated Premier Pool Management the responsibility of day to day management of the order, safety, and cleanliness in and around the pool area; supervision of operating staff; and enforcement of rules, regulations and fees established by the Board of Directors. The Pool Manager or representatives are in charge of the pool facility at all times. The Pool Management staff will close the pool if necessary to conduct maintenance or to decontaminate the pool. At such times, the Pool Management staff will bar entrance to the pool enclosure.

Volunteering

HRARA is a volunteer-run organization and relies on the active participation of shareholder members for all to benefit. Shareholder members are encouraged to volunteer to help run various aspects of the organization by serving on the Board of Directors, joining committees, attending Spring and Fall work parties to maintain the facility and grounds, and engaging with the planning and implementation of various community activities and events.

Schedule of Activities and Events

A Calendar of Activities and Events is maintained on the Holmes Run Pool website. Activities and events are also announced in the newsletter and posted on the bulletin board in the main bathhouse. In addition to social events, HRARA facilitates swim programs such as water aerobics, swim lessons, and summer camp. Water aerobics occupies the deep end of the Lower Pool on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings. Group, private, and semi-private swim lessons may occupy up to two lanes in the Upper Pool during regular hours and one lane during peak hours until the end of July. Summer camp occupies both Upper and Lower Pools when in session. A Schedule of Swim Programs is available on the website. HRARA proudly supports the HRA Hurricanes’ Swim Team of the Northern Virginia Swim League (NVSL). There are various swim meets and other special swim team events held at this location during the swim team season until the end of July. These events are posted on the website, in the newsletter, on the bulletin board in the main bathhouse, and at www.hrahurricanes.org.

The Pool Manager may recommend to the Board of Directors, through the Director of Operations, suspensions for periods longer than one day. Members should refer grievances and complaints to the Director of Operations.

Identification and Admission to the Pool Facility

The Membership Committee will provide the Pool Management staff with a roster of members and Pool Management staff will maintain the roster and admit persons whose names appear in the data bank. Members will verify that the information contained in the membership roster is accurate and provides the following information:

Names, ages, and ID pictures* of all persons in the household,
Home address,

* Member and guest may opt to present a photo ID upon at the time of entrance to the facility

**Swimmers and non-swimmers who are 10 and under must be supervised by a parent or by a designated guardian at least 14 years of age or older.

Caregivers: Member parents and guardians may designate grandparents, older siblings, sitters, nannies, au pairs, and other adults to accompany their children to the pool in their absence. Such supervisory personnel have pool privileges provided they are registered according to the membership guidelines as the family’s childcare provider/babysitter, and only when accompanying those children. They must accompany the non-swimming child while in either the upper or lower pool.

Unaccompanied Minors: To use the facilities without a parent or guardian supervising them, children between the ages of 11 and 17 and their parent/guardian must complete and sign a new “Unaccompanied Minor Code of Conduct / Emergency Contact Agreement,” available on the website, at the start of every swim season. The Code of Conduct Form affirms that the child is a proficient swimmer and able to pass a swimming test upon request, and that he or she will follow all pool rules.

Minors ages 14 or older may supervise children under the age of 11 at the pool, however, any minors supervising other children must have a Code of Conduct for Minors Form on record with membership affirming that they have parental consent to be on premises, that they are a proficient swimmer and able to pass a swim test upon request, and that they will follow all pool rules.

Accessibility: Access to the pool for handicapped or disabled persons can be provided through the gate at the bottom of the access road. Please notify the front desk of the need to enter through the gate. County regulations prohibit “animals, fowl, and pets” within the pool enclosure. This shall not apply to support animals, such as seeing-eye dogs, that provide assistance to physically challenged individuals. Support animals are allowed on the pool grounds and in the pool enclosures, but not in the pool water.

Weapons

Weapons of any type are not permitted on the HRARA grounds. The term “weapon” includes but is not limited to: firearms, airsoft guns, BB or pellet guns, and knives. Pocket knives that have a folding blade of less than three inches are permitted.

Behavior

Unruly Behavior: Lewd behavior, loud, abusive, or profane language is prohibited. The Pool Manager may suspend privileges for repeated violations and will be supported by the Director of Operations. Lifeguards will enforce the following policy:

If there are only 1 or 2 children exhibiting unruly behavior, the lifeguard on duty may blow the whistle and motion for them to sit in the “timeout” chairs by the lifeguard chair. Upon a second offense, the child(ren) will be required to leave the pool deck and may only come back with their parent or guardian. Unaccompanied children must remain off the deck until a parent or guardian arrives to supervise them.
In the event that there are many children playing and the situation becomes unmanageable, the lifeguard on duty may whistle for the “floater” guard to come to the pool deck to walk the deck and patrol the pool water and deck and single out individuals for violations of safety, noise, and/or behavior. At their discretion, the lifeguard may whistle and motion for offenders to exit the pool or even leave the deck.
In the rare event that the lifeguards cannot manage the pool water and deck safety, the lifeguard will blow the whistle, clear the pool and deck, and institute a 10 minute break before the swimmers, only those who are accompanied by a parent, are readmitted.

Audio Devices: All personal audio devices must be used with headphones. All public audio devices must be approved by the Activities Director.

Alcoholic Beverages: Judicious use of alcoholic beverages is allowed. Individuals considered intoxicated will be refused access to the pool area or may be ejected from the facility.

Inclement Weather

During a rainstorm, the pools will be closed if the lifeguard cannot clearly see the bottom of the pool.

At the sound of thunder, everyone, including lifeguards, must vacate the water, pool decks, and the pool grounds and remain clear of these areas for a period of no less than 30 minutes from the last time thunder is heard. Lifeguards will blow the whistle, announce thunder, and oversee the clearing of these areas. All members of the pool, and their guests, should go to their respective cars to wait out the thunder delay. Members who have walked to the pool should call for a ride home and may wait in the Upper Pool House by the front desk for their ride. No one may use the showers, due to the threat of lightning.

Failing to follow the instructions of the pool manager or lifeguards is a violation of HRARA Rules. Members who fail to cooperate will be reported by the lifeguards to the Operations Chair at the next opportunity.
