The first visit will be complimentary, all visits thereafter will be $10. Each person listed on the membership will be allowed to bring one guest. Weekends/Holidays One guest per membership will be permitted to use the center during the weekend hours. The pricing will be the same as during the week. We will not permit outside guests to use the facility without being accompanied by a paying member between Memorial Day - Labor Day. Our first priority is to serve our members. The purpose of our guest policy is to enhance services to current members who are encouraging a friend to join. We will make reasonable accommodations for members of other Ys traveling in our area, for out of town family of current members and for out of town visitors. Centers may restrict guest usage, hours of usage and area of usage with or without notice to ensure the safety and comfort of members. We highly encourage members to contact the Y prior to visiting with a guest to inquire about any guest restrictions due to demands on the center. Securing your valuables Please safeguard your valuables. The Y in Central Maryland is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged personal property. Lost and Found The Y in Central Maryland is not responsible for lost or stolen articles. Please lock cars and leave valuables at home or in a secure location. All lost and found clothing, towels, etc. will be retained at the pool for one week. After one week, all unclaimed articles will be discarded or donated to Goodwill or other charitable agencies. Smoking/Tobacco and Alcohol The Y in Central Maryland is a tobacco-free zone. Smoking, including the use of electronic cigarettes, is prohibited on Y property. Alcohol is also not permitted on Y property at any time. Pool Furniture While the pool has hundreds of pieces of pool furniture, there may be times during peak usage where a chair may not be available. You can bring in your own chairs that can be kept in the playground area off the pool deck. We also ask that you be considerate of others and follow the one-person, one-chair rule. Please refrain from using the chairs as towel hangers and bag holders. Parent/Guardian Supervision Parents are responsible for the conduct of their children. Children ages 10 and under must be accompanied and supervised by an adult (18 years or older) at all times. Non-swimmers must be within arm s reach of a parent or guardian at all times. The pool management reserves the right to require parental supervision for a child 11 years and older who repeatedly violates pool rules. Lifeguards can not monitor general behavior of children. They must be solely focused on preventing and responding to pool emergencies. 15

18 Inclement Weather The lifeguards/management have the authority to close the pool during inclement weather. All attempts are made to keep the pool open, and wait out the storm, however, the pool management may delay opening, or close the pool for the day to ensure the safety of patrons and associates. Standard procedure is to wait 30 minutes after each lightning strike. Safety Breaks Lifeguards will call a ten-minute safety break each hour. At times, safety breaks may be sporadic due to limited pool usage, inclement weather, special days, etc. During safety breaks adults 18 years and older have use of the pool, allowing parents a relaxing period in the pool and giving children a break from the constant activity and exhaustion that pool play may elicit. Breaks also give an opportunity to use the restroom. During safety breaks, lifeguards will permit infants under 18 months old access to the main pool with their parents. Infants must be in their parents arms at all times. Discipline The pool management encourages all parents to review the pool rules with their children. While the summer pool can be a place of fun and memories, it can also be extremely dangerous if pool rules are not followed. Pool Guidelines The lifeguards and associates of the Y will enforce the following rules. The Y reserves the right to suspend or expel any individual who violates the pool rules/policies. Rules and policies may change without notice to ensure safety and comfort of all members. Rule changes will be posted at pool entrance.
