Worcester gives Ocean Pines pools certificate of excellence

(May 4, 2023) Four of Ocean Pines’ pools recently received a “Certificate in Excellence in Pool Operation” award from the Worcester County Health Department.

A fifth pool was excluded because of a notice related to pool phone lines, which was remedied that day.

Aquatics Director Kathleen Cook said the honors recognize a spotless safety record and are not easy to come by.

“We follow stringent guidelines set by the county and the state, and these awards are a reflection of the job that we’re doing and how we’re presenting the amenities,” Cook said. “These recognize that we operated through the season without having any critical or major violations recognized by the health department.”

She said Ocean Pines pools have earned safety awards regularly over the last decade.

Ocean Pines’ outdoor pools will reopen for the season on May 27.
