Since the Governor on June 26 at 5 PM, requires face coverings inside businesses. We are going to enforce this for our employees. They will wear masks while they are work-ing. Employees that serve or prepare food will also wear gloves. We are encouraging our members to do the same. If everyone will do their part then hopefully, we will slow down the spread of the Corona Virus and we can get back to some type of normal life (whatever that is to be). The masks will be for employees in the clubhouse only. The lifeguards and Maintenance employees will not be required to wear them. The lifeguard must be able to call out warnings and blow their whistle, without any thing getting in the way. The Maintenance crew are mostly more than 6 feet away from any members and they normally work alone. We still must maintain the 6-foot social distancing in-side and out. Please help us by honoring this request.

Please remember to wash your hands as often as you can. Please if you have any of the following symptoms: Cough, Shortness of Breath, Fever, Chills, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore Throat, or Loss of Taste or Smell then please to not enter the building or Pool area. We are trying to keep everyone safe.

We would like to welcome all of our new members

Hello, everyone!

Here’s the July CCC pool update:

• There have been A LOT of people who have been enjoying the pool, and we hope that continues for the rest of the summer!
• Thank you all for making the effort to sign yourselves and your guests in when you come to the pool. We really need you all to sign in with each visit. If you have guests, PLEASE list the town where the guest lives.
• Remember: when you child turns 9, he/she is eligible to take the swim test to see if he/she can come to the pool unaccompanied by an adult. See a lifeguard to take the test.
• Social distancing at the pool because of Covid-19 has been going well. We appreciate everyone's cooperation.
• "Does chlorine in pool water inactivate the virus?

  “The good news is that the average amount of chlorine that’s in a pool is going to kill the virus,” Lavin [Roberta Lavin, University of Tennessee College of Nursing] says. Assuming that your pool is properly maintained, the chemicals in the water should be enough to render the virus inactive.
  The CDC reported on March 10 that “there is no evidence that COVID-19 can be spread to humans through the use of pools and hot tubs. Proper operation, maintenance, and disinfection (e.g., with chlorine and bromine) of pools and hot tubs should remove or inactivate the virus that causes COVID-19.”

Twilight is under way this year. The winners in first week were Cindy & Bill Nance/Wendy & Bob Carr. Week 2 saw Anita Pope & Randy Folger/Robbie & Todd Williams victorious. More pictures to come.

Sampson County had the good fortune to have a new professional swim coach take over the Greater Sampson Aquatic Team a year ago. Coach Rhett Saylors grew up swimming and coaching in Atlanta, Georgia. He was then recruited to swim for East Carolina where he was a Pirate sprinter throughout his college years. He has been brilliant as a swim coach. Coharie Country Club athletes he has trained include Eli Hardison, Kenzy Yang, the Starling sisters (Annell Grace and Annie Marie), and the Bell siblings (Avett and Macy). All of whom swam faster and further each month under his training.

Although swim lessons from lifeguards may be a good option, learning from a professional coach your child will generally learn how to swim sooner with better technique. Plus if your child shows the propensity for swimming, Coach Saylors will also be able to teach your child potentially all four competitive strokes instead of just learning to swim to avoid drowning.

The only thing Dr. Yang dislikes about Coach Saylors is that Dr. Yang is no longer the fastest swimmer in Sampson County since Coach Saylors arrival to Sampson County.

This summer Coach Saylors will be available for private lessons here at the Coharie Country Club pool. You may contact him directly to set up lessons.

By way of comparison, if you take your child for swim lessons at the Triangle Aquatic Center in Cary where the teacher may not be as skilled or trained as Rhett, their rates are as follows: Private series of 6 lessons $296, Semi-Private $200 per child.

Below are his rates and his contact information: Contact: saylorsr07@gmail.com 404-788-2973

Swim lessons must be scheduled at least 24 hours ahead of time, and will require the same amount of notice to cancel unless there is an emergency or weather issue.

1 on 1: one athlete to one coach

• Single lesson: 30 minutes: $40 member/$50 non member
