Chase Creek Pool 2011

Welcome to the Chase Creek pool.  A neighborhood pool that has been around since the mid-1960's.  Built by the WInchester and Pines-On-the-Severn communities we are open for membership from all surrounding communities.  Please check out the links for our hours, swim team links and contact information. Chase Creek is professionally managed by Anchor Aquatics.

 UPDATE FROM THE BOARD

Chase Creek pool will reopen on Thursday, 1 Sept at 3PM and resume normal operational hours as previously posted.  HOWEVER, damage has occurred to both motors affecting the baby pool and main pool.  As of Thursday afternoon, a decision was made to replace the baby pool pump motor and it should be replaced shortly (possibly by Fri the 2nd of  Sept).  Until the Baby pool motor is replaced the baby pool is closed.  The main pool motor is currently experiencing noise that could be an indicator of a larger problem.  Our Pool Management firm, Anchor Aquatics, believes we can make it thru the Labor Day weekend, but a possibility exists that the motor could cease to operate thus causing an early end to the Pool season.  At this writing, the plan is to examine the motor after Labor Day weekend and hope the motor holds up until Monday evening.



As the season begins we are experiencing some parking woes associated with the overcrowding of our upper parking lot.  I am writing to bring your attention to some very important parking rules and suggestions in order to ease this situation but most importantly, maintain pool accessibility in the event that an emergency vehicle needs to access our parking lot & main walk-in entrance.

               *Emergency vehicles (Fire truck/ambulance) MUST be able to access the Pool in the event of an emergency.  To this effect, we ask that you avoid double parking in the upper lot and do not park within 10 feet of the curb along the access road off of Old River Road as you approach the Pool.  Please park closely against the curb so that improper parking or cars blocking the access road do not negatively impact response time to an emergency.


               *We HIGHLY encourage you to park in the lower lot located on Old River Road.  There is ample parking there to support the needs of our membership. To assist lower lot parking, the trail between the lower lot and the access road has been improved.


               *The Pool board has marked the curbs along the access road between Old River Road and the Pool Parking lot to specifically mark where no parking is allowed.

 This past Friday night our Pool neighbors had landscaping stones damaged due to improper parking.  Access to their driveway was also problematic as cars were parked directly behind their driveway.  Our neighbors were negatively impacted due to careless parking.   As a Community Pool, we value our relationship with our neighbors and ask all members to be respectful of their property when you are parking.

 Your understanding and cooperation related to parking is appreciated.  Please feel free to contact any board member if you have questions or concerns.

 Thank you!

A Message From the Board:

A brief history and update on what's going on behind the scenes at Chase Creek Pool

In order to maintain our community pool in working order and to maximize the enjoyment of our members, Chase Creek Pool has more than doubled the usable space on our grounds over the last few years.  The process began when the Board of Directors decided to move forward and build the new open-air pavilion.Because the pool had been stymied in our efforts to renovate the bathhouse (see more below) the decision was made to move forward and begin the effort to renovate and renew the pool.

From the Membership Chair:

We received such good feedback last year on our pool membership renewals by email that we decided to continue the practice this year!  If you know of a neighbor who has changed an email address, please let me know so I can update my records. 

There was a delay in getting these out to you this year as we are introducing PayPal as a payment option!  In addition to paying by check, this year you will be able to pay through PayPal.  There will be a fee involved for using PayPal.  This fee is the 2.9% + $0.30 that PayPal charges  Chase Creek for each electronic transaction, the pool does not make any profit from this option, we simply add it as a convenience for our members.Use this link to pay online

BOARD MEMBERS NEEDED:


Again this year, we are looking for new board members.  There are 3 positions open that need to be filled immediately.  Many of our current Board Members will "retire" next year, so this is a good opportunity to shadow someone.  If you have an interest in participating, let us know.  Our pool can only operate with the help of volunteers and we really need you!
