I’m pretty sure spraying the deck briefly with a low pressure water hose won’t get rid of the numerous bacteria that inhabit the surrounding pool area. Did I mention the drains and gutters are yellow with filth? To make matters worse, Claude Moore staff does not properly clean the deck with bleach. The bottom of the pool is brown, and the deck is full with dirt as the drains and gutters installed do not work properly. Not only is this outlandish, but showering before entering the pool is unnecessary, and will not fix the air-quality problem.Īdditionally, pool cleanliness is the poorest I have ever seen. Claude Moore management has attempted to fix the problem by blaming the swimmers for not showering before entering the pool. The air quality in the main pool is so poor, many swimmers spend their practices on the side of the pool coughing and gasping for air instead of swimming. I am sure you have received many emails about the growing health problems and complaints about Claude Moore, but after sitting back and biting my tongue for too long, I have had enough. I have never in my thirteen year swimming career witnessed such filth and disgust at any facility I have ever swam at. I have been a competitive swimmer my entire life and I participate with the year-round Swim Club and Dominion High School’s Varsity Swim Team. I am writing to inform you of the severe health problems occurring at Loudoun County’s Claude Moore Recreational Center. My name is Caroline Brandt and I am a 12th grader from Dominion High School. My letter, as well as her response, is included below. In order to hopefully shed light on this issue, I wrote a letter to Suzanne Volpe, a member of the Loudoun Board of Supervisors for the Algonkian District. Caroline Brandt, Editor-In-Chief | April 25, 2014Īs a swimmer of over 14 years with over 5 years of experience swimming at Claude Moore Recreation Center in Sterling, Virginia, I, along with many other swimmers, have had it with the disturbing conditions present at Claude Moore.
