Hi Neighbors,
We are so excited! Larimer County Health Department has cleared pools to open with specific restrictions. We are set to open on Tuesday, June 9th for both lap swim and daytime swim hours. Reading the entirety of this message will be very helpful for you and your family for this pool season.

We will have to use a reservation system for this pool season, as we must limit the number of guests at the pool at a time. To use the pool this season, each household will need to register by completing this form: https://forms.gle/4kQsacWF5TMxRDiz7. Please also print and bring a signed copy of this WAIVER to the pool for your household. If you forget, they will have paper copies there for each member to sign. Once you have registered on the form, you will receive an email as soon as you are put into the system (we will do this as soon as possible) with a link to the pool's new website. From here, you can log in to add your other household members and reserve pool times. You will create a 4-digit pin to login to your account. This system will replace pool tags. A lifeguard will be doing check-ins at the front desk.
90-minute reservation blocks will be available from 9:00am-8:00pm each day in addition to lap swim from 5:30-6:30am. Each reservation block will be followed by a 30-minute block where lifeguards will clean and sanitize for the next session. If less than 50 people are at the pool and there is space available for walk-in use during a 90-minute time block, a green flag will be visible along the southeast fence, and walk-ins will be welcome until capacity is reached. These walk-ins, however, will have to leave the pool once that 90-minute time block is up. For example, if someone came 70 minutes into the time block because a green flag was up, they would only have 20 minutes to swim. If the time block is completely full, a red flag will be on the southeast fence. Walk-in users will still need to have completed their registration and signed the waiver to use the pool. Please see below for additional information on reservations.
Due to the circumstances of this season, no guests will be allowed this summer. The only exception will be for nannies or other childcare individuals, in place of a parent that day. They will have to sign a waiver at the pool as well as be added to your membership online before coming to the pool. No big party reservations will be available this summer either. We are sorry for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
We thank you for your patience as we navigate the county guidance in place to keep us all healthy. We want this season to go smoothly and for you all to enjoy the pool while keeping each other safe! We know it may be difficult to adjust to this new system, but we appreciate your patience in advance.
We are working with the Health Department and will notify members of any changes in guidance as soon as those changes become available.
We ask that members practice physical distancing on the deck and in the pool. Face masks are recommended while on the deck if physical distancing is not possible. The deck has been marked off with areas that families can use, while keeping appropriate distance from others. We also ask that restroom use be limited to one person at a time, or one child with a parent at a time. If you have a cough or fever, please stay home and take care of yourself.

Once you get an email to access your account, here is some more information you will need:
Edit on 6/8/20 - There has been an issue with everyone receiving their emails. Once you fill out the Google Form, you will be put into the new system within 24 hours. Check the new pool website [ buckinghorsepool.com ] to see if your account is live by clicking “Sign in here” in the top left corner. Use the email you gave in the Google Form, and use the pin 1111 to enter. Thank you for your patience as we get your info into the system!
Setting up your account:
You may add two other guardians in addition to the primary account holder (which will be the person who signs up on the Google Form) under the “+ Add Family Member Check-In” button as a Sub-Account. Each Sub-Account requires a different email address. Primary and Sub-Accounts can make reservations.
The rest of your family members, most likely children, can be listed in the Children/Dependents section. They cannot make reservations.
A Primary or Sub-Account member must be present to check-in with children at the pool.
If you have a nanny or other guardian, you will need to add them on your membership as a Sub-Account prior to them coming to the pool. They will also need to fill out the waiver before entering the pool.
When making reservations:
Click the “Pool Reservations” tab on the Member Dashboard.
Reservations start on Tuesday, June 9th.
For Lap Swim, 5:30-6:30am, (starting Wednesday the 10th. see post above for more information) – Click the “Pool Reservations - pulldown for more options” button and select “Lap Swim Reservations”. There are 6 lanes available each morning, one swimmer per lane.
The regular pool hours will be 9:00am-8:00pm. Reservations are available for 1.5-hour periods beginning at 9:00am, each followed by a 30-minute closure for cleaning. This means, you will only have 9:00am-10:30am to swim. It does not mean you will be able to show up at any time within the time frame and swim for 1.5-hours.
Click in the white or gray box to make a reservation. Green means this slot has already been reserved.
There are only 10 reservation slots available to ensure we are following guidelines. A primary account member will make a reservation in a time slot for all family members. Some days, this may mean the pool has reached capacity within those 10 slots for a time block. On other days, it may not. This is where the green and red flag come in!
Green and Red Flags:
If there is room left at the pool after these reservations, a green flag will be up. You may only come without a reservation if there is a green flag up. A red flag will indicate that the pool is full. Further explanation is above.
To cancel your reservation:
You must do so before your reserved time begins. Just click “cancel” on the reservations page on your green square so others can fill your time block!
Weather:
If the pool is closed due to inclement weather, unfortunately this means your reservation will also be cancelled. Just hop online and make a new one for another day!
If there are things we missed, please email hello@buckinghorseneighborhood.com. Thank you and happy swimming!
