Pool Use for the 2020 Season Franklin Station HOA 

The Franklin Station HOA Board is monitoring the government response to the COVID-19 outbreak. As of now, state and local guidelines allow us to open the pool for use this season. By using the HOA Pool Facility, you understand that there is a possibility of the spread of viruses, including COVID-19, and by being at the pool facility you are doing so at your own risk. 

To ensure safety of our facilities, we will be complying with the CDC guidelines by disinfecting common surfaces such as handrails and ladder, doorknobs, toilets, bathroom sinks, and chairs and tables daily. We will not be responsible for cleaning toys or other belongings left behind. 

The pool will be closely monitored to maintain the CDC's recommended chlorine levels. As of now, the CDC states that pool water kept at appropriate chlorine levels is not shown to allow COVID-19 to be passed on from person to person while in the pool. If this changes for any reason, we will need to close the HOA Pool Facility to comply with government guidelines. 

Assumption of Risk:

For the 2020 pool season, if you choose to use the HOA Pool Facility in Franklin Station, you are stating that: 

I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my family, including child(ren), and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 while on site at the pool and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the pool may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, the Franklin Station HOA Board, Pool Committee members (paid and volunteer), pool management company’s employees, volunteers, and other participants/attendees and their families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I, my family and my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with attendance at the pool or participation in pool activities (“Claims”). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless the Franklin Station HOA Board, Pool Committee members (paid and volunteer), and the pool management company and their employees, agents, and representatives, and their families, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Franklin Station HOA Board, Pool Committee members (paid or volunteer), or other individuals acting on behalf of the Franklin Station HOA Board, the pool management company and their employees, agents, and representatives and their families, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in pool facility activities.
