PUBLIC POOLS RE-OPEN MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND WITH SAFETY GUIDELINES IN PLACE

Many filled the pools on a very busy Memorial Day Weekend - and returned to new safety guidelines and restrictions

400 cases.

The nice weather and holiday weekend make for a perfect time to hit the pool.

Many public pools re-opened for this weekend...and several people are seizing the chance to cool off.

Waay 31's ashley carter joins us now at the camelot pool in southeast huntsville where they told her they are being extra cautious this opening weekend.

Ashley?

Right behind me the pool is filled with excited swimmers who were anxious to jump back in once the pool re-opened friday.

But the staff here says even though they are excited to be back....safety and sanitation are their priorities during this very busy weekend.

Alana sapp, public relations chair "i think people were ready to come out, and see their friends and do a little socializing."

Elena sapp is the public relations chair for the camelot pool.

She says the pool hasn't been as busy as previous memorial days weekends....but they were still thrilled to re- open.

Alana sapp, public relations chair, "super excited and proud of that we're really glad."

Cameron dingo, pool manager: "i was so excited to see how many people came back that was really fun."

But the re-opening didn't come without some changes.

Sapp says they are encouraging guests to try to stay six feet a part at all times....cleaning and sanitizing the pool chairs...bathrooms....and lifeguard chairs....and having a separate exit to limit close interactions between guests.

They told me even with all the changes....members are still able to have a good time alana sapp, public relations chair, "i think it's pretty much the same, we just want people to make sure that they're trying to social distance, obviously as much as you can at a public pool."

And sapp said so far members are having no problem with the changes because they want the pool doors to remain open all summer long alana sapp, public relations chair, "i think that everybody has done a good job at trying to keep things you know good so that we can keep enjoying the pool while we're being allowed too."

The pool here is only allowing members to use the pool at this time...previously they could bring guests but they want to make sure they stay at the 50 percent capacity here.

They also are closing an hour earlier at 7 p-m- now.
