ON-DECK POLICIES
- As Locker Rooms will not be available for changing, we ask that all swimmers come to deck showered and with their suits on.
- Please check-in with the Aquatics Staff in the Lifeguard Office on the 6-Lane Pool Deck. They will assign lanes upon entry.
- Those with ADA needs or who need assistance will be assigned lanes first.
- We will provide a basket at the end of your lane for your personal belongings. This basket is sanitized before and after your reservation by Aquatics Staff. We recommend placing your belongings in a waterproof bag, as they will need to remain at the space provided by your lane.
- Equipment will be unavailable for use. Please bring your personal equipment if you plan on using it during your workout.
- Use of the starting blocks is not permitted.
- The hot tub is closed.
- One long whistle blow will occur at the 45 min mark of every hour signaling the end of your swim time. Please exit the water and deck promptly after.
- Masks are required upon leaving the AQ Facility.
