Briarmeadow Pool Information 2025
Dear Homeowners,
Over the past few years, the HOA has been diligently working to find a more efficient solution for providing owners with access to the pool and clubhouse. We are pleased to announce that the new key fob system is now in place, offering a convenient and secure way for you to enjoy these amenities. Beginning May 1, the Briarmeadow pool will only be accessible using a key fob. This applies to both Swim at Your Own Risk (SAYOR) hours as well as when lifeguards are on duty. We will no longer use the sign-in book, since scanning your fob will act as your electronic sign-in. We did this for a number of reasons:
To restrict pool access to only residents of Briarmeadow and their guests,
To ensure that residents with access to our shared amenities have accounts in good standing with the HOA and are current on annual dues,
To enable us to track use and access electronically and remotely,
To reduce the cost to the neighborhood of staffing lifeguards during non-peak hours,
To eliminate the need to close the pool if lifeguards are unavailable, and
To make it easier to manage access to the pool and clubhouse for rentals.
KEY FOBS:
Dual Access: The same fob will grant you access to both the pool and the clubhouse. For clubhouse rentals, your fob will be pre-programmed for the day of your event and will automatically deactivate at the end of your rental period.
Eligibility: Please note that in order to purchase a fob, your HOA dues must be current. If an account is delinquent, access to the fob will be automatically disabled for both the pool and clubhouse.
Fob Limit & Cost: Each household is eligible to purchase up to two fobs. The cost is $25.00 per fob. Payment must be made by check or money order.
Fob Distribution: To obtain a pool key fob, please complete and submit the Key Fob Registration Form and the Fob Agreement and Terms of Use form and submit them either:
By email to Emily.Sanchez@genesiscommunity.com, or
By mail to their office:
Genesis Community Management
9700 Richmond Ave, Suite 160
Houston, TX 77042
You may also visit the Genesis office Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, to drop off the completed forms and payment. Once they confirm your account is current, you will be able to receive your key fob during your visit.
Replacement Fobs: If a fob is lost or stolen, there will be a $25 replacement fee.
*NEW POOL HOURS:
SAYOR HOURS: As of May 1, 2025, the Briarmeadow pool will be open year-round for SAYOR access. The pool is available for SAYOR 7 days a week, from 5am - 11pm, except for Tuesdays. Tuesdays are our designated cleaning days and the pool will only be open from 1pm-11pm.
SWIM TEAM PRACTICE: Please note, there are specific times that the swim team will have the pool fully or partially reserved. Those times are as follows:
MAY: During the month of May, the pool will be closed to SAYOR access Monday-Thursday from 4:30-7pm for swim team practice.
JUNE: During the month of June, pool will be available for SAYOR access, but the swim team will have 4 lanes and both sets of stairs on the west side of the pool reserved for practice Monday-Thursday from 4:30-7pm. The stairs on the northeast side of the pool (closest to the men’s restrooms) and the deep end will still be available for SAYOR swim during this time.
LIFEGUARDS: As an added safety measure, we will continue to staff lifeguards during peak-use hours during the summer swim season. The lifeguard schedule is included in the table below for your reference.
