Gwinnett doesn't know yet when it could open its nine pools and aquatic centers, spokesman Joe Sorenson said.
Public pools are closed under Gov. Brian Kemp’s public health state of emergency, which expires May 14. That includes those run by counties and cities as well as pools in country clubs, apartment complexes and subdivisions.
Decisions have not been made regarding when or how they'd open, if the number of guests would be capped or if there will be temperature or symptom screenings upon entry. No decision has been made whether any of the facilities would open on May 14 if the state emergency order is not extended. Discussions are underway regarding these plans, Sorenson said, but nothing has been finalized.

Gwinnett's aquatic facilities include indoor and outdoor lap pools and recreational pools with slides, fountains and other water park-like amenities. There are five aquatic centers open year-round for indoor swimming, and they've been shut since the county declared a state of emergency in March.
Gwinnett County's seasonal pools usually open over Memorial Day Weekend, and some of the year-round facilities extend or change their hours in the summer months. The county collects admissions fees at each pool, ranging from $3.25 to $10.50 depending on the guest's age and residency.
Up-to-date information about Gwinnett's aquatics facilities can be found on the county's website.
