Facility Changes

Face Coverings

All participants and visitors 5 years and older entering Juniper Swim & Fitness Center indoor areas must wear a face covering. The face covering must be worn at all times in all indoor spaces, except when swimming or if a medical condition or disability prevents a person from wearing a face covering. Participants and visitors to the outdoor pools and surrounding outdoor spaces are not required to wear a face covering, but clear face shields are strongly recommended for water exercise class.

Fitness Center

Fitness Center sessions are available in 80-minute increments throughout the day with a 10-minute cleaning/preparation transition between sessions. Group exercise class schedules are posted for individual registration.

If you have registered for a class/lap swim/workout on your own session, you are welcome to use the Fitness Center before or after your scheduled activity at no additional fee if space is available. The Fitness Center is open during all hours except for a midday cleaning closure from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m.

Use of the Fitness Center is available via drop-in or reservations. A few details to know:

• Advanced reservation is encouraged to ensure your space at a preferred time; however, drop-in use will be accommodated if space is available.
• Credit or debit cards are preferred forms of payment for drop-in fee; however, cash will be accepted.

Group Exercise Rooms

All spaces have been evaluated to determine their occupancy while comfortably maintaining adequate physical distancing. Fitness Center equipment has been rearranged to provide adequate spacing. Fitness equipment has been spaced to exceed physical distancing standards with weights moved to the Fit Studio and cardio machines have been spaced out and will be rotated in and out of service. Group exercise rooms have floor markings to designate individual spaces. One-way traffic flow patterns have been established to minimize congestion and close contact.

Outdoor Fitness Classes

In addition to modified indoor spaces, three outdoor fitness class areas have been added to expand offerings while maintaining proper distancing. If you cannot maintain 6 feet of physical distancing during your outside exercise class, a face covering must be worn.

Family swim includes 80-minute reservations for the outdoor activity pool or indoor children’s pool.

Reservations include designated “on-deck” spaces for up to 10 household members. All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian 16 years or older.

Family reservations must be made under one household account. They may be made up to 7 days in advance and remain open until 15 minutes prior to session start time – based on availability.

Passes (monthly, quarterly, annual and 10-visit) will not be valid during the initial reopening period due to the need to limit capacity. We also know we cannot provide the full value of passes due to limitations in facilities, hours and classes.

All facility passes remain on hold until less restricted operations resume.  Passes will be extended for the number of days that were remaining at the time JSFC closed on March 16. In appreciation of passholders loyalty, we will add a bonus extension of 1 week for monthly passes, 3 weeks for quarterly passes, and 6 weeks for annual passes. If you prefer, we can also issue a credit for the prorated value remaining on your current pass and you can apply this to the temporary per visit registration fees.

Locker rooms are not available at this time except for bathroom use and hand washing, but you need a face covering to enter the building. Come ready to swim with your swimsuit on under your clothes. Also, be prepared to leave without changing clothes. With showers closed, it is critical that everyone takes a cleansing shower before arriving at the pool.  Showering before entering the pools helps ensure clean, clear and safe water conditions.

Juniper has two new outdoor showers located outside the new restroom building located next to the Outdoor Activity Pool. These showers are available for people who were unable to take a cleansing shower before arriving or who need to rinse off after swimming.

In accordance with state guidelines, pool activities are distanced with extra measures to reduce contact with staff and/or other patrons. Lap swimming is restricted to one person per lane except when two household members may share a lane. We have set up a queuing system for people waiting for their reserved lap swim lane time to ensure physical distancing.  Water fitness classes ensure physical distancing through designated spaces, including buffers between lap swimmers. Family swim is limited to a number of households and an adult is responsible to maintain distance from other household units.

BPRD facilities have implemented a number of precautions to maintain social distancing, included:

• Enhanced cleaning procedures include a mid-day and end-of-day deep cleanings and cleaning sessions after each reservation/session.

What is Juniper’s response if/when a COVID-19 case is confirmed?

According to the Center of Disease Control (CDC), risk exposure is contact within 6 feet of individuals for a duration of 15 minutes or more. The county public health team’s job is to assess the level of exposure and risk, and to then contact people as appropriate. If they determine that there is a risk to you, please be responsive to contact from Deschutes County Health Department and follow the guidance they provide you. If you are not contacted by the health department, it means they do not believe your contact level warrants further action.

As of July 24, all participants and visitors 5 years and older entering Juniper Swim & Fitness Center indoor areas must wear a face covering.

The face covering must be worn at all times and in all indoor spaces, except when swimming or if a medical condition or disability prevents a person from wearing a face covering. Face coverings are now required when exercising indoors, and while exercising outdoors where physical distance cannot be maintained.  Participants and visitors to the outdoor pool and surrounding outdoor spaces are not required to wear a face covering, unless 6 feet of physical distancing cannot be maintained. Clear face shields are strongly recommended for water exercise class.

Please bring your own mask! We have a limited supply of disposable masks available if you forget.

Juniper has been deep cleaned and disinfected before reopening and a thorough cleaning is completed nightly. Restrooms are cleaned at least twice daily and staff are repeatedly disinfecting high touch points including between lap swim and water exercise groups. Pool chlorine levels are maintained slightly higher than normal as a precaution and chemical checks are conducted more frequently.  Juniper has automated chemical controllers and feed systems that measure and adjust chlorine and pH levels on an ongoing basis.

With advanced reservations, we can ensure that we remain within the capacity limitations required by Oregon Health Authority and maintain a safe and healthy environment. The advanced registration also saves you a space rather than being turned away or waiting in line for an opening. You can register up to seven days in advance to help make it easy to fit your workout into your schedule or routine. Reservations remain open until 15 minutes before the scheduled activity for any available openings.

Customer service staff are available by phone at (541) 389-7665 during all operating hours to assist you with the reservation system or answering questions. If you can only pay with cash, please speak to customer service staff via phone for assistance.

Registration for classes cannot be credited, transferred or refunded. We will make exceptions for medical or health-related reasons. Call (541) 389-7665 as soon as you know you will be unable to attend a registered session.

We are unable to bring back all classes and instructors at one time. In developing our initial schedule of classes, we considered past attendance trends, variety of formats, and facility and instructor availability. We’re excited to welcome back many classes and employees and look forward expanding as condition and participation allows. In the meantime, it’s a great chance to try a new class or instructor.

While we are not conducting temperature checks, we ask all patrons entering the facility to acknowledge that they have not experienced any of the following:

• Have you had a new or worsening cough?
• Have you had a fever?
• Have you had shortness of breath?
• Have you been in close contact with anyone with these symptoms or anyone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 in the past 10 days?If any of these conditions apply, you will need to wait to return to the facility until all symptoms, including fever have been resolved for at least 72 hours without medication, or at least 14 days after contact with a person with a cough, fever or diagnosed with COVID-19. Do your part to ensure the health and safety of you, others and the community and stay home if you are sick or been exposed to someone who is sick.
