May 22, 2020 Update
The board met May 21 and similar to previous emails, our goal remains to open the pool as safely as we are able. We have no clear opening date yet. An abundance of caution will be taken as we consider all countermeasures in order to open. Some of those countermeasures may include: cleaning and sanitizing that exceeds local guidelines, perhaps opening a week or two after area clubs, opening with a reservation based system to reduce capacity, etc. We will also be taking cues and lessons learned from other pools in the state/region as they re-open, again, to open as safely as possible.
Unfortunately, out of an abundance of caution, the Delco Swim League has cancelled the competitive season. Stay tuned for communication for potential and creative swim/dive opportunities and possible team-building activities.
We appreciate everyone's patience as we work through this to provide the best of summer memories for you and your families. Fingers crossed and we, "Can't wait to see you at the pool!"

April 16, 2020 Update
The board met on April 16 and similar to our March email, our goal remains to open the pool as soon as we are able. After talking with township officials who issue our operating permit, they are unsure about a precise opening date. That is understandable given that Pennsylvania has not even issued guidance/phases about reopening the state. However, we remain as prepared and optimistic as possible in order to open.
Any questions about your membership status can go to membership@karakung.com. Also, in order to stay ahead of late registration, the Swim and Dive Team will open registration with no money due right now. Expect to hear more in a future email and feel free to email them with any questions; karakung.swim@gmail.com.
Our next board meeting is scheduled for May 21. In the event we know anything more about opening before then, we will contact you as soon as possible. We continue to remain as prepared as possible and we appreciate everyone's patience as we work through this to provide the best of summer memories for you and your families. Can't wait to see you at the pool!
