The State of Minnesota and the Brooklyn Center
Community Center are, at the time this was published, allowing
Rapids Riders to have a pool session this Sunday Jan 17th.
Information here is subject to change at any time. We will do
our best to update this page as quickly as possible. This page is the
official source of information about pool events.
Important! The state of MN and the
Brooklyn Center Community Center requires that all individuals,
except for members of the same household, keep a separation of NINE FEET
at all times. Our continued use of the pool this winter is dependent on
ALL individuals abiding by this rule at all times.
- Social distancing applies both in and out of the water and includes:
- When lining up up to enter the building.
- When getting ready on the pool deck.
- When leaving the pool and exiting the building.
Please be patient with us and other participants as we figure out how to best implement this requirement.
Here's what you need to know and consider.
- Wear a face mask at any time not in the water
- Side doors will be unlocked around 4:55 p.m. and check in will begin at 4:50. Start lining up at that time.
- While maintaining social distancing, provide your name to the check-in person and wait for permission and instructions to enter.
- Be prepared to handle your boat without help when entering and exiting.
- When entering and exiting, you, your boat, and your gear must be 9 feet from any other person.
- Social distancing must be maintained even while moving around on the pool deck.
- The first boaters in will be directed to go to the far corner of the pool.
- Please do not use the north side pool deck as a staging area when you enter. (North pool deck is the one leading from the doors to the locker rooms.) Let's keep it clear of boats and gear if at all possible. It may be the appropriate deck to use as the "take out" though.
- Consider leaving early to space yourself from others.
- Have fun.
The Community Center has closed the main locker rooms. However,
the “All Gender” bathrooms are available. This probably means that you
should plan on arriving dressed "pool ready" and leaving wet.

button below all this text near the bottom of this page. No button?
Then either registration is full for the week or there is no pool session happening.
We will only offer registration for a pool session during the week of the session.
Typically, registration will open on Monday of that week, but these are
uncertain times and it might not open until later in the week - or not at all.
Registration will remain open until a predetermined number of people have
registered or until 5:00 pm on pool Sunday. The number offered may change weekly.
The maximum occupancy will not exceed 25 people. One boat per person.
You can only register for and purchase one admission "ticket" at a time.
In other words, it is not possible to sign up for multiple weeks or
more than one person at a time.
The names of registered individuals for the current pool event will appear on this page.
(Below the button)
Being on the list is your "ticket" for admission.
If you purchase a "ticket" and your name does not appear (in a few minutes)
please email rapidsriders@rapidsriders.org and we will investigate. If
your purchase a slot very close to start time and your name doesn't
appear then be prepared to show the receipt that PayPal will email you.
