South Davis Recreation District 5/7/21 Covid-19 Operation Update

The State of Utah has reached the benchmarks for House Bill 294 which eliminates all existing state and local health orders related to Covid-19.   What does this mean for the South Davis Recreation Center?

Our operations and programming will continue to be different than normal, and we will outline those changes throughout our South Davis Recreation Center Low Risk Plan 2.0 document.

SDRC Re-Opening FAQ’s – Low Risk Plan 2.0

How is your Low Risk Plan 2.0 different than your Low Risk Plan 1.0? 

Our plan will remain relatively similar with some notable differences. Starting June 8th, we will be open starting at 5:00am.  We will also no longer be requiring reservations for Lap Swimming or for our Weight and Cardio areas.  We will continue to have reservations for Fitness Classes, Aquatic Classes, Cycling Classes, and Freestyle Figure Skating. Racquetball can be reserved in person 2 days in advance. We will also start offering times for Open Plunge Swimming, Public Ice Skating, Drop in Hockey Skills Sessions, and Drop in Basketball.

As we start to offer more aquatic programming, the number of lanes available for lap swimming will go down compared to the number of lanes available when we reopened.

Will your facility hours be the same? 

Our facility hours will still be slightly different than usual.  Starting on June 8th, we will be open Monday –Friday from 5am – 9pm, Saturday from 6am – 7pm, and Sunday from 12pm – 4pm.  Hours could continue to change towards more traditional hours moving forward.  Please click here to be directed to hours regarding specific amenities.

How do I access the facility on June 8th? 

Patrons will continue to enter the facility through the queue line that forms through our sliding front doors.  All patrons will continue to be able to register for Fitness Classes, Aquatic Classes, Cycling Classes and Freestyle Figure Skating Sessions in advance via our online web registration portal found at https://sdrd.activityreg.com/ClientPage_t2.wcs to register for a specific time and session. Racquetball can be reserved in person 2 days in advance. Those who are attending for Lap Swimming, Weight and Cardio areas, and the Track will not register, but can come in any time while we are open to participate in that activity.

Patrons attending classes or sessions are asked to enter no more than 15 minutes before their activity to minimize interactions with other patrons. We will still be requiring all patrons to check in at the front desk to receive a wristband for the area in which they are utilizing.  If after an activity, a patron desires to utilize another area of the facility we ask that they return to the front desk to receive a new wristband that corresponds with that area.

Anyone who is experiencing or showing symptoms of COVID-19 should not access the facility.  We ask that all who enter the facility continue to use hand sanitizer or wash their hands upon entering and often during their time in the facility.  It is also encouraged and recommended that all patrons wear face masks while entering and utilizing the facility, other than in the pool. Everyone should clean and sanitize any used equipment after its use.

Will I continue to receive any discounts on my membership? 

Pass holders who are still not ready to come back to the facility can tell us they want the option to defer their memberships for an additional month at this time.  If a pass holder chooses not to defer, their Annual Passes will start back on June 20th.  Monthly EFT Pass holders who choose not to defer their pass an additional month will have their normal monthly rate withdrawn on their next withdrawal.

Do I need to take a cleansing shower before swimming?

Yes, before lap swimming, water walking, open plunge, the outdoor pool or aquatic classes you must take a cleansing shower.  The locker rooms will be available for showers and restrooms. We ask that you maintain posted social distance guidelines while in the locker rooms.  We also ask that after you are done in the pool areas, you exit the facility as soon as possible unless you plan to utilize another area of the facility.  If that is the case, please go back to the front to receive a new wristband for that area.

What are the rules for the Fitness Areas?

All patrons must maintain proper social distancing with other patrons when exercising.  Equipment must be cleaned after each use, and staff is on hand to monitor social distancing and for additional cleaning.  Please bring your own mats for stretching if needed.

Do I need to wear a face mask while working out?

The Health Department highly recommends the use of face masks for the public.  We encourage everyone to wear a mask when in the facility, other than in the pool.

Are extra steps being taken to keep the SDRC sanitized?

Yes.  We will continue to have staff on hand to help clean and sanitize equipment and high contact surfaces throughout the facility regularly throughout the day.  Patrons are being required to be vigilant about cleaning used equipment. We also will have a janitorial crew cleaning the facility each night.

Will the Outdoor Pool or Open Plunge be available starting June 8th?

Yes.  The Outdoor Pool and Open Plunge will be available starting June 8th from 1pm – 5pm Mon – Sat and from 12p – 4p on Sunday.  We will be looking to expand those hours as we move forward, and we communicated any updates regarding changes via our website.

After using the facility, can I change and get ready for work before I leave? 

We ask that you leave the facility as soon as possible after your hour. This allows staff to prepare and clean the facility and helps to keep our attendance numbers limited during this phase. Please end your work-out earlier than your hour if you need to get ready at the facility.

UPDATE 5/4/2020

To our patrons,

This afternoon, the South Davis Recreation District held a board meeting where it was decided the South Davis Recreation Center will re-open on May 21st , 2020.  This date was determined by taking many factors into account, but the main concern in mind was the safety of our patrons and employees.  Due to guidelines and direction we have been given from our state and local health departments, our operations will  for the time being need to change to accommodate social distancing between customers and make sure we are providing the safest environment possible.  Please be patient as we prepare to welcome customers back, and in the mean time we will continue to get our facility ready for your safe return while following the State of Utah’s Risk Phase guidelines. We will be providing more details about our re-opening over the next few weeks, so please keep checking our website and social media for updates.  We look forward to seeing you soon. 

UPDATE 5/1/2020

We understand it is disappointing that the Recreation Center is still closed at this time.  While the phased guidelines, from the Governor’s Office and Health Department, does address gyms and fitness centers, we know you understand that the Recreation Center is so much more than that.  The recommendation from the Governor and the Health Department is for gyms and fitness centers to remain closed during the moderate risk phase; should a facility decide to open strict distancing and cleaning guidance should be adhered to. District Management is assessing how the Recreation Center could open, while adhering to the safety criteria and guidelines provided by the Health Department and be as responsible as we can be for the District and the community of South Davis County.

UPDATE 3/16/20

Dear Patrons: 

On March 16th, 2020, the South Davis Recreation District Board voted to close the South Davis Recreation Center along with programs and classes until April 6, 2020.  The decision was based on available information regarding the COVID-19 virus and the concerns regarding the virus spreading in our community.  The board also weighed heavily the recommendations provided by the Governor’s Utah Coronavirus Task Force as well as the Federal Government’s most recent recommendation for keeping gatherings of people to 10 or less.  The board will continue to evaluate all the data and information regarding COVID-19 and its spread over the next few weeks to determine when the facility, programs and classes can reopen and begin again.  In the meantime, all current programs and classes slated to start April 6^th or later have not been canceled but their start will be pushed back one week later.  We will continue to evaluate these programs as more data and information is received.

Through the information that has been provided regarding the coronavirus we want to help limit the spread as much as we can.  We will be taking steps to clean and sanitize the facility so when we do open, our patrons can feel doubly comfortable that they are in a safe and sanitized environment.  We appreciate your understanding and your patience through this challenging time.

The South Davis Recreation District takes the safety of our patrons very seriously, and we value each of our patrons and their health.  We will continue to be in contact with our members and those who signed up for classes and programs that have been canceled while continuing to look at how we can help our valued members at the South Davis Recreation Center during this time.   Please continue to follow us on our website at www.southdavisrecreation.com  and social media sites for information and updates about the closure as well as to be made aware of other avenues we can help provide fitness in our community during these times.  Please be safe, and we look forward to serving you again in the near future.

Our office hours will be Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:00pm to answer phone calls if you have questions.

The Coordinators for each department will contact participants to let them know what will happen going forward.  Please make sure we have your correct email.  This will be how you will be contacted. You may call and check with the front desk. Please be patient as we are receiving many calls.
