Re-opening Guidelines for Adult Swim Programs

In the initial phase of reopening the pools, we will be offering lap swimming, one on one private adult swim lessons, and Masters Swim Team practices.  
In order to maintain proper physical distancing in the pools, there will be a one swimmer per lane limit during lap swimming.  Members who wish to swim can make a reservation for one hour of lane use on the CAC app or by calling the front desk at each club.  Lanes can be reserved up to 24 hours in advance and are available for members 16 years and older only.  If you are not able to utilize your reservation time, please cancel your reservation in a timely manner by contacting the front desk or on the CAC app.
The following rules have been established in order to adhere to safety guidelines, including social distancing, in the pool:
  1. Lane access is limited to 60 minutes per reservation for each individual member.
  2. Lane 1, which will be labeled in each pool, will be reserved at all times for private swim lessons.  If Lane 1 is not being used for a private lesson, members can use it for lap swimming on a first come, first served basis, but will need to vacate the lane in the event of a private lesson.
  3. All participants must take a cleansing shower prior to entering the pool.
  4. The wearing of a mask is mandatory in all of the clubs, including in the locker rooms, the shower and bathroom areas (except while showering), and on the pool deck.  When using the pool, masks should be removed just before entering the pool.  CAC recommends placing the mask in a zip lock bag or similar to store your mask safely while you are in the pool.
  5. No equipment will be available in the pools, including kickboards, pull buoys, swim fins, noodles, or pool weights.  Members can provide their own equipment for use in the pool. Pool equipment brought by members must be wiped down/sanitized before entering the building.
  6. In the initial phase of re-opening, we will not offer adult group swim lessons, only one on one private lessons and Masters Swim team, all of which require pre-registration.
