Ocean Pines pools to open at full capacity

(Updated May 17, 2021) Ocean Pines General Manager John Viola has announced that Ocean Pines pools will be open with no capacity limitations, in accordance with Gov. Larry Hogan’s executive order lifting all existing capacity limitations at indoor and outdoor venues in Maryland, effective May 15.

"With the governor's latest announcement, we're excited to continue moving toward a return to normalcy," Viola said. "We're looking forward to a busy and successful summer at all of our amenities, including our five pools."
   
Masks will not be required to be worn by those who are fully vaccinated, in compliance with the CDC and Gov. Larry Hogan's May 14 announcement lifting the mask mandate. 

Ocean Pines outdoor pools are scheduled to open for the season on Saturday, May 29. Normal deck and bather capacities still apply.

Those wishing to use Ocean Pines pools may purchase an annual or seasonal membership or pay the daily entrance fee. 

Discounted swim coupon cards, although included under “User Fees” in the FY2021-22 budget, will not be offered this year. However, Director of Finance Steve Phillips stated that the coupon cards were included in the budget to account for any existing “legacy” cards, whose expiration was extended through Oct. 1. Those cards may be used until that date.
