Many of you have probably heard that New Mexico's Phase 2 has been paused by the state government. This means BMPA is still limited to lane swimming and 2-students-per-instructor swim lessons.

Bear with us, this is a very lengthy update!

The pool has passed the NMED inspection. The board met again on Wednesday evening. We discussed what other local pools are doing right now as well as the poll results, countless comments and emails, and the budget. Barranca Mesa Pool will be opening on 15 June.

The pool is scheduled to be inspected this week by the New Mexico Environment Department. The Board will also be meeting again this week. Just a reminder: the Public Health Order from 1 June states that only lane swimming and swim lessons with one instructor per two students is allowed at this time. We have been sharing ideas with other local pool boards since the beginning of May and are aware of what they are doing.

We had hoped this e-mail update would be to give you a solid opening date! Instead, we're sending some general information about things that are developing for your pool.
