The New Town Community Pool is all set to open Saturday, May 24th for the 2025 season, and your Pool Pass with the BLUE decal will get you through the gate for a summer of fun! This is what the 2025 Pool Pass looks like: 
 
Pool registration is underway.  (Instructions for owners and tenants can be found on the website Pool & Clubs page.) Chesapeake Bay Management staff, along with the New Town Residential Association Board and Pool Committee have worked to streamline the registration process for better efficiency and for the convenience of all residents. The accurate registration of homeowners and accessible distribution of the pool passes are the first steps in assuring New Town's residents of a well-managed, safe and clean pool facility. The electronic sign-in system has continued to be refined for quick and easy entrance and is a very important tool to monitor and track pool usage. Most importantly, it takes every patron’s support, faithfully using the sign-in system to assure the best experience for all residents. 
 
Many improvements have occurred over the last several years with increased numbers of loungers and umbrellas, equipment and accommodations for the Lifeguards, and maintenance of the pool bathrooms and deck, promising this 2025 pool season to be enjoyable and fun for everyone! Long-time pool-goers will notice some changes and improvements with the selection of a new pool management company – Clearwater Pools. Many essential tasks and responsibilities are covered by Clearwater, including monitoring water quality, management of the Lifeguards, weather decisions, and authority for the many safety concerns and regulations. Clearwater has been great to work with, kicking off a positive pool season. 
     
The safety of pool users, and especially the safety of the children is paramount in the enforcement of Pool Rules and the regulation of pool hours and usage. The Lifeguards have a big job, but also truly appreciate getting to know New Town's personalities and creating some special relationships over the summer.  
 
Stay tuned for several pool events planned by the Activities Committee – a real opportunity to meet neighbors and make new friends!
 
A lot of effort, dedication and time goes into the three months of safe and fun pool days for New Town's residents. Many thanks go to those volunteers who make this all possible; those who support the success of the pool by serving on the Board of Directors, or serving on one of the NTRA's Committees. A big thanks to our hard-working Chesapeake Bay Management team too! We look forward to a successful kick-off on May 24th and seeing you at the pool throughout the season!!
