Dear Valued Farmington Woods Resident:
Pool season is around the corner. The Greenwich and Guilford Pools will open for the season on Saturday, May 27. The Byron and Mallard Pools will open Saturday, June 10. All pools will remain open through Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 4. The tennis courts are open and will remain so until mid November or later as weather permits.
Only unit owners, residents and their guests will be allowed to access and use the swimming pools and tennis courts.
This season, instead of issuing pool bands and tags, we will be using the PoolEntry app for pool passes. You can download the PoolEntry app free from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
To apply for your pool pass, please go to:
https://www.poolentry.com/application/pool-application.php?PoolApplicationID=5c0a8de7-a7ba-400b-a09c-775367a30463
All Passes (Seasonal and 2 daily Guest Passes) are free to owners and their tenants. Additional Guest Passes, up to 2 per day, can be purchased by credit card through the Pool Entry app at $2.00 each.
PLEASE NOTE: Daily purchased extra guest passes expire at the end of the day purchased.
After you apply for your passes, and your application is approved, you will receive an email to notify you that your pass is ready for download.
To download and activate your pass on your mobile device, please follow these steps:
1. Go to Apple App Store (iPhone) or Google Play Store (Android).
2. Download PoolEntry mobile app.
3. Look up your pool pass with your phone number and last name.
4. Add your pool pass to your phone.
Residents that do not have a smartphone can contact the Master Association with questions on how to receive a paper pass (you will still need to register online at the above link).
When you arrive at the pool, you will open the mobile app and check in. Please be prepared to show the screen of your phone to the lifeguard as proof of the valid pool pass.
Please be sure to read the pool rules once your account and pool passes are activated.
For technical support, please contact PoolEntry at (888) 465-5895 or email
support@poolentry.com. For specific questions about pool passes please contact the Master Association office at 860-673-6193.
An important note to remember is that you will be responsible for the actions of your guests while they are at the pools and courts. As a result, please require their strict adherence to the pool and tennis/pickleball rules and regulations. Warnings and ultimately fines may be assessed for noncompliance with the pool rules. Please be considerate of other pool users in the use of cell phones.
Smoking and alcoholic beverages are not allowed at any of the four pool areas.
Incontinent individuals of any age who wish to use the pool are asked to take proper safeguards or do not enter the pool. Please be courteous and change diapers in the restrooms where changing tables are available.
