Updated Swim & Croquet News
Check out these changes that were made this year due to the pandemic:
The 2020 closing date was extended to 10/4 in response to member requests. Late season hours beginning 9/14, are 12 noon - 6 pm. The pool will close at 3 pm for cleaning, and reopen at 3:30 pm.
If you are considering rejoining the pool, pay a $25 holding fee by 10/31. The cost is $100 if you wait.

What does the Fearrington Homeowners Association (FHA) do and who belongs to it? How does it fit in with the service groups shown on the website, and what exactly is a service group?
