Dear Donaldson Run Families –

In preparation for moving to a new swim reservations process, all active members must accept the COVID-19 waiver in our on-line membership system. We have set up the COVID-19 waiver just like annual dues registration. All of your Accounts have been set to “Unpaid” to trigger this process. When you log in, you will receive a message saying:

Your Account is not paid for the current season. To make a payment click here.

Click on the link to review and accept the COVID-19 waiver for all members on your account. There is no charge as all of your accounts are already paid in full. Select any payment method to review and submit your order. The payment method will be ignored. Upon completion, your account will be set back to “Paid” status, and you will have access to the new swim reservations process when it is launched later this week.

PLEASE NOTE: You will not be able to reserve swim time without first accepting the COVID-19 waiver on-line.

If you have any trouble with this process, please send an email to drrapool@drra.org.

Best Regards,

Bob Hutchison

Dear Donaldson Run Families –

DRRA will open on Monday, June 1st in accordance with Phase 1 of Governor Northam’s Forward Virginia Guidelines which restrict the use of the pool to swimming only, one swimmer per lane. All other amenities are unavailable during Phase 1, including, but not limited to diving boards, the baby pool, basketball, boot camp, water aerobics, private swim & dive lessons, snack bar services, lounging on the pool deck, and all social events.

The SignUpGenius reservation system opens Sunday, May 31st at 3:00 p.m.  Access here: Swimming Reservations

Reservations to swim are required and can be made 1 day in advance starting at 3:00 p.m.

A SignUpGenius account is not required to use the system. A link can also be found in the Log In section of www.drra.org. A free SignUpGenius Mobile App is available at the AppStore or GooglePlay. The creator email address is reservations@drra.org.

Reservations require members to agree to waive, release, and hold harmless DRRA, its Board members, directors, officers, agents, employees, staff, vendors and volunteers from all claims relating to COVID-19 arising out of the use of DRRA by you or individuals included in your Membership. The full text of the waiver is included on the DRRA web-site through this link:  DRRA COVID-19 Waiver.

The following reservation instructions are online as well:

• Reservations are available to SHAREHOLDERS AND FULL SUMMER MEMBERS ONLY.  NO GUESTS ARE PERMITTED.
• A family member ages 18 or above must make the reservations for any individuals in their membership under age 18, due to acknowledgment of the Waiver.
