Swimming Pools
The Lake of the Woods community has two outdoor pool facilities available to members and their guests. The two pool facilities include Sweetbriar Pool, which is located near the Community Center, and Clubhouse Pool.
Guest Fees
Pool Rental
Groups (over 10 individuals) must get approval from the Community Operations Manager prior to their visit. Parties can be scheduled for after regular pool hours.
Members planning a pool party must contact the Community Center at 540-972-9680, a minimum of three weeks prior to the event.
Inclement Weather Policy
In the event of heavy rain, thunder, lightning, or a hazardous condition in the opinion of the pool manager / lifeguard, all swimmers will be cleared from the water, the bathhouses and deck area. All swimmers and pool patrons are to remain out of the pool if the flash-to-bang count is under 30 seconds, and not to return until 30 minutes have elapsed since the last lightning is seen or thunder heard.
Due to line-of-sight obstructions with trees, lifeguards use the
WeatherBug application’s Spark Feature to determine the nearest lightning strike.
