Georgia Gives Public Swimming Pools the Green Light to Open

What a racket! You have to pay on top of the membership dues that you already pay to use the facility that you built and financed! Nice!

Jason Barnard , no, members are free. Most community pools charge fees to use or you buy a membership. I’m just happy she can swim

I like this idea.

gosh this would be amazing! my daughter went from an hour a day 5 days a week 10 months a year to nothing…would love nothing more for her to get an hour a week at least…but im in upstate new york i dont see that happening at all…so getting a wetsuit and she will swim in gmas pond as soon as its a touch warmer

Jason Barnard bro get a life

Sha Oui can’t! The pool’s closed!

Jason Barnard touché ?

Sha Oui You’re in LA! You’re locked down for the whole summer!!!!

Jason Barnard nobody is happy about that here but the last thing I want is my swimmers and family dying from covid because we resumed practice too early

That pool needs some new lane lines , may as well swim open water ??. Lane lines are free right??

Sha Oui All you have to do is stay home then.

Nah,people don’t need to stay home.Or maybe the selfish irresponsible ones do.Just follow the guidelines and don’t ruin it for everyone else or things will get shutdown again.

Kimberly Joy oh but there is a plethora of armchair epidemiologists who wil tell you, “but! but! but!”

Here’s your problem,people can’t follow directives.The sooner you do,the quicker normal happens.Otherwise,things get shutdown again.

YESSSS!

Kimberly Joy wow that’s great advice! Not!

says someone from California??? ???

Greg Simmon yes, says someone from California. Your from Snellville GA.

Debbie Terry and I feel sorry for you.

Greg Simmon – Now that’s a new one!

We will, we are 65 and older we are suppose to wait til June the 12th. The Governor said !

Isn’t in this the empty headed BS we heard 19 days ago when Georgia reopened?

How have they done since then any way ?

Susan Dawson-Cook swimming world once again going the #cnn route and using some unrelated stock photo vs doing some actual thinking and work. Horrible reporting by these guys

Susan Dawson-Cook try not to drown in your stupidity.

Hermes Oliva wow, you’re super sweet! I hope I run into you on deck (not so much)…

Susan Dawson-Cook even if this wasn’t a stock photo – how do you know from your armchair who is in a family unit that can be as close together as they want. Otherwise it looks like most people are 6 feet apart. The chlorinated water kills the virus (per experts), so what is the risk?

Rob Richardson, I would have liked to picture of lap swimming since it’s Swimming World instead of a picture that more resembles public free for all at the pool, which doesn’t seem too safe yet.

Leslie Cichocki yes, you should. Come on down and visit us. We would love to have you and explore Georgia. Just let me know and would love to have you stay with us while you’re down here. ?

Cindy Sykes Denny who’s stopping you. Go see if you can become a Covid19 statistic.

Sure since I have a .01% of catching it

Cindy Sykes Denny I’m not American but you might find that in those particular states the population density is greater and has nothing to do with whether it is R or D. Taken on a country to country comparison then the US is not doing so well ?stay safe?

Cindy Sykes Denny Transplanted Yankee HAPPILY down here in Georgia where pools are open and kids are exercising!

John Eife there wasn’t anything stopping your athletes from exercising the last 2.5 months. I’ve got mine going 2x a day. Probably the fittest they’ve ever been? And they are bonding in ways they never did before.

Héctor Ruvalcaba ¡excelente noticia!

Nada más con que sean muy estrictos en los protocolos de seguridad y no deben tener problema.

Absolutely, bathing in bleach, albeit, diluted, and the occasional ingestion, what could be better. Keeping the pools closed, as some HOA’s are, will just lead to overcrowding at the few open ones and overcrowded beaches around the lake.
