Pool operations change with Deschutes County s new COVID-19 guidelines
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) The Juniper Swim & Fitness Center is letting the air in at its swimming pool, to let more people swim amid renewed COVID-19 Extreme Risk occupancy limits.
As Deschutes County moved back into the extreme risk category for COVID-19, new guidelines are set for indoor recreation facilities. The center is making adjustments to accommodate community members and adhere to guidelines, including removing the pool s roof earlier than usual.
The indoor swimming pool at the facility transforms into an outdoor pool for the summer months the roof comes off. Usually, the roof is removed closer to summer, when the weather is warmer. However, this marks the earliest year the pool will be transitioned to an outdoor facility (coincidentally after a near-record warm day Thursday, with highs in the 80s.).
