Orange County, Seal Beach Reopenings
On June 11, county officials announced a new list of businesses that can resume as California enters Stage 3 of the state’s reopening plan, including bars and breweries, gyms, movie theaters and family entertainment centers, hotels, museums and campgrounds.
Neighborhood swimming pools, including the McGaugh School Pool, also reopened June 12, with social distancing and other precautions in place. The Seal Beach Community Pool, located at 1698 Bolsa Ave. on the McGaugh Elementary School campus, is open for lap swimming. No new swim passes are available as safety guidelines are evolving. But current passholders can register for one-hour time slots in specific pool lanes. The pool is open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, only one person is allowed per lane, per hour, allowing for eight people in the pool at all times. To accommodate as many swimmers as possible, people are asked to limit reservations to three swims a week.

The pool is one of many amenities, services and business that are slowly reopening. County officials have reported that the rate of positive tests has stayed below the state’s eight-percent benchmark.
