Swimming Pool Update
June 28, 2026
Greetings Cromwell Park at Salem Residents,
The Association’s Swimming Pool Maintenance/Service Contractor has performed the necessary Water Quality Treatment procedures and actions to address the fecal contamination incident. All water quality tested/measured levels are within the City of Virginia Beach Department of Public Health’s required (acceptable/safe) parameters to operate the pool. The community swimming pool is officially reopened for use by all authorized Cromwell Park at Salem Residents.
As a reminder, any individual (regardless of age) who is not fully toilet-trained or who experiences incontinence must wear a designated, snug-fitting swim diaper or specialized swimwear designed specifically for pool use when entering/using Cromwell Park at Salem’s community swimming pool. Also, please be familiar with and adhere to ALL Pool Rules & Regulations; posted within the pool area and also available on the Cromwell Park at Salem Website (cromwellparkatsalem.org - FAQ’s > "What are the Pool Rules and Regulations?"). Violations of the Pool Rules & Regulations may result in a Due Process Hearing leading to potential fines and/or loss of pool privileges.
In addition to the fecal contamination incident, stones/rocks were found inside the pool (See photos at bottom of this announcement). In the past month (several occurrences), trash/open food items/unauthorized toys were left on the concrete tables and scattered on the pool deck, evidence of glass bottles in the pool area, children kicking/throwing balls which broke the clock, children bringing/parking scooters and bicycles on the pool deck, residents opening the pool gate for people (including children under 14 years old) who did not have a required Pool Pass (Proximity Card), Clubhouse/Pool Bathroom has been trashed (See photo at bottom of this announcement), and umbrellas left open when the occupant(s) left the pool. Further incidents (especially those which cause damage requiring expensive repair costs) and/or unacceptable personal behavior at the swimming pool will result in a Due Process Hearing leading to potential fines and/or loss of pool privileges for the responsible Unit Owner/Resident; and depending on the incident, it potentially may result in the Closing of the Community Pool for the remainder of the Pool Season.
The Cromwell Park at Salem Condominium Association (i.e., All 132 Unit Owners) recently spent $16,250 on necessary structural repairs to ensure the swimming pool would be safe and pass the required Department of Public Health’s Inspection to allow us to operate (open) the pool for all residents to enjoy this summer. Within the last 4 weeks, the Association spent an additional $1,760 to complete necessary replacements/repairs to some of the pool equipment (i.e., Filter valve, Diverter valves, Connectors/Piping on the system’s Suction Side, Pump Filter Basket-Melted, etc.). The Pool Rules & Regulations (e.g., no toys/small objects in the pool area) are in place for a reason.
We understand some of the Pool Rules & Regulations may seem inconvenient, but we appreciate your cooperation to ensure the pool and pool deck area are safe and enjoyable for everyone to use.
We hope all Cromwell Park at Salem Residents get the opportunity to enjoy the community swimming pool and stay safe!

Swimming Pool Opening-Rules & Regulations and Community Social Event-Pool Party!

We are delighted to announce the eagerly awaited opening of our community swimming pool on Saturday (May 23, 2026)! Prepare to dive into a summer filled with fun, relaxation, and sun-soaked memories.
Pool Hours: Daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM
Proximity Card Access Required: A Pool Pass (Proximity Card) is required to enter the pool area. DO NOT climb over or lift children over the gate or fencing; EVERYONE must enter the pool area through Pool Gate’s Access System (Proximity Card Reader). Residents who do not have their personal Pool Pass may be asked to leave. For safety and security, please do not open the gate for someone who does not have their personal Pool Pass. If you bypass the Pool Access System (Proximity Card Reader) or allow unauthorized access to the pool, it will result in a Due Process Hearing leading to potential fines and/or loss of pool privileges.
How to Obtain a Pool Pass: Each Condominium Unit has been issued one (1) Pool Pass; replacement Pool Passes are available for $30. If needed, please contact our Association Manager (John Candelora - jcandelora@thinkpma.com and info@thinkpma.com) to request a new Pool Pass.
Food & Beverages: During the 2025 pool season, there were some incidents where glass bottles were being used within the pool area. As a reminder, glass items (e.g., bottles, pitchers, etc.) are strictly prohibited for obvious safety reasons. Please be familiar with and adhere to ALL Pool Rules & Regulations (Posted within the pool area); this information is also available on the Cromwell Park at Salem Website (cromwellparkatsalem.org - FAQ’s > "What are the Pool Rules and Regulations?"). Violations of the Pool Rules & Regulations may result in a Due Process Hearing leading to potential fines and/or loss of pool privileges.
Important Reminders:
- No Pets Allowed: To ensure a safe and clean environment, please do not bring pets into the pool area. As required by both the City of Virginia Beach and the Association Rules & Regulations, pets are not permitted within the pool area at any time. The Virginia Beach Department of Public Health could close/shutdown our pool for the season if pets go in the pool area (especially if they enter the water). Also, no pets should be secured by leash to the outside of the pool area while visiting or using the pool.
- Umbrellas: To protect our facilities and minimize replacement costs to our Association/Community, always lower/close the umbrellas before leaving the pool area.
To celebrate the summer season, our Social Committee is sponsoring a Community Social Event - Pool Party from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturday (May 30, 2026) [Rain Date: TBD]. Save the date and join us for a day of games, food, drinks, and great company. It’s the perfect opportunity to meet your neighbors and enjoy the summer sun.
