Unfortunately due to the ongoing situation regarding Covid-19 we will not be able to open the pool during Memorial day like usual. We are looking forward to opening the pool as soon as we get the go-ahead from the state. Thank you for being patient as we are all adjusting to the unique challenges brought to us by the virus. We will be sure to update you with news regarding opening as soon as we can on the website as well as the Facebook page.

Edgewood Community Updates 5/19
Membership:
Thank you to all of the members who have already joined or inquired about membership.  We have advised many of you to hold off until we know what is going to happen with the pool.  The tennis and pickle courts are currently available.  If you are not a member you can use the courts for a $10 fee per usage or purchase a tennis membership for $225. These fees can be applied to can be applied to a full membership once we have all of the details for Summer.  Courts should be reserved by calling the club.
Pool: 
 
Unfortunately, the POOL WILL NOT BE OPEN for Memorial Day Weekend!  We are extremely sad about this as I know all of you are as well.  We spoke with the Connecticut Department of Public Health and the Torrington Area Health District last week and we should know something about pools later this week.  Thanks to Holcon Gas the pool will be warm when are given the go ahead to open.
 
Swim Team:  
 
Given the current regulations and an abundance of caution, we will not be offering swim team this Summer.  Our children are our first priority and we want to do all we can to keep them 
safe.  I am not sure what other teams are doing, once I get information from them, I will share it.  We will miss our Torpedoes!
 
Tennis Programs:  
 
We will be having tennis lessons and drills for both adults and children this Summer.  All will be limited to 4 participants and 1 professional per court. We are working diligently to re-invent these programs and will have information and scheduling out very shortly.
 
Camp: An outline of Camp will be email on Thursday, May 21st.
At this point all sessions of camp are full.  If you have already signed your child up for camp by using the form or emailing me directly they have a spot. We will be emailing you to confirm your reservation later this week.  If your plans have changed and you no longer want a particular week let us know as soon as possible.  Cancellation and refund requests will not be accepted after June 5th.  Penalty fees will be assessed for late cancellation.
Camp Waiting list:
If you are interested in enrolling your child in camp please let us know and we will put them on a waiting list.
Stay safe and I hope we will all be on the pool deck soon.

Edgewood Update 3/25

Dear Members,

In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic we are in full support of practicing social distancing. Our tennis courts are still available to members for free and to non-members for $10. That being said, If you choose to play tennis it’s recommended that you do so with another friend or family member that is also taking precautions and to keep a safe distance of at least 6 feet. On another note, we are looking forward to fully opening up the club this Memorial day if it is safe to do so.  Take care and stay safe!

Edgewood Gym Closes Tonight at 5pm per State of Connecticut Mandate.   We hope to re-open April 1st, 2020.

We have always thought of our members as a family. We are working to keep Edgewood cleaner than we keep our own homes. Your protection and safety is our utmost concern. We do trust that our members are very diligent in cleaning the equipment after they use it, but for the next two weeks we will have a full staff at Edgewood making sure that everything is continually cleaned. If you have any questions or concerns please ask the staff member.
 
MEMBERSHIP: We would like to thank all of our members that have already taken advantage of the EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT. Given recent events we have decided to extend that deadline indefinitely.
 
CAMP: Camp dates are filling quickly. The last day of school is uncertain at this point so we are taking reservations for the first week, beginning June 22nd, and you will not be charged until we know the date.
 
Tennis Courts: The courts are available to both our members(free) and non-members($10). Everyone is welcome to schedule a court, but we ask that SOCIAL DISTANCING play a role in your decision making process. Edgewood supports all state and federal guidelines.
