The New Town 2026 pool season is fast approaching! The New Town community pool will open Memorial Day weekend on Saturday, May 23, 2026, and remain open through Labor Day, Monday, September 7, 2026. We are looking forward to another fantastic summer and would like to highlight a few important items.
 
First and foremost, we are excited to announce extended weekend pool hours for the 2026 season. Many residents expressed interest in earlier opening times to take advantage of generally better weather and cooler temperatures in the late morning, and we were able to make that happen. The following pool hours will be in effect for the 2026 season:

 

Holidays (Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, & Labor Day): Pool opens at 10:00 a.m. (When in doubt, consult the website calendar!)

 

In order to take advantage of the New Town pool as soon as it opens, please ensure your 2026 pool pass is up to date. Hopefully you are familiar with the pool pass process as it is the same as last year. You should have received an email from Chesapeake Bay Management on April 6 entitled “Important 2026 Pool Pass Information.” In addition, CBM mailed a bright yellow envelope via USPS to all owners with instructions and important pool documents enclosed. As always, instructions for both owners and tenants are also available on the NTRA website Pool & Clubs Page found under the “Residents” dropdown menu. All communications outline the steps required to obtain your pool pass, ensure it is activated and has the new 2026 green decal.
 
We are excited to continue our partnership with Clearwater Pool Management, LLC, for another year. Clearwater is responsible for many of the essential tasks required to ensure our residents have a safe and enjoyable pool experience including managing the lifeguards, monitoring the water quality, keeping a keen eye on the weather, and ensuring compliance with safety and management policies. As a reminder, we ask that all pool patrons and their guests conduct themselves in accordance with the NTRA Pool Rules and also ask you to respect that the lifeguard on duty has absolute authority and control over the operation of the NTRA pool. Our lifeguards have a big job ensuring the safety of our pool users, and especially the safety of the children in and around the pool. Please support them and also get to know them as they truly appreciate getting to know our New Town residents and developing positive relationships within the community.
 
The NTRA Board of Directors would like to give a special thanks to the NTRA Pool Committee for continuing to make our pool seasons a special part of living in this community. They continue to ensure the pool is well appointed and the pool facilities are well maintained for opening and throughout the season. Their efforts are important to this community, and we all appreciate and benefit from their hard work.
 
Please also mark your calendars for two special pool events organized and hosted by the NTRA Activities Committee:
 
•        June 6th: Noon Pizza Pool Party
 
•        August 7th: Evening Poolside Social
 
We look forward to kicking off the 2026 pool season on May 23 and we hope to see you at the pool many times throughout the summer.
