WEEKDAYS: Members may sign in guests at the pool for a charge of $6 per guest. Each guest will be issued a wristband and must wear it for entrance/re-entrance.

A few reminders on some rules we will also be enforcing this year:

All members are required to show their Membership Card for admittance into the pool at the Lifeguard gate each visit; there will be no exceptions.

Member families and their guests are allowed two chairs each visit.

Caregivers/Nannies can be registered by the member at the Front Desk, and they will be permitted to accompany children to the pool but restricted to Monday-Friday and not on holiday weekends.

Grandchildren of members who are 18 years or younger may be brought and supervised by their grandparents.

For more pool rules and safety guidelines see the 2023 Pool Policy and Regulations on the website at cycrr.org under My Club/Center Isle Complex and Pool tab.The season will culminate with Swim Team Trophy Night on July 20. Here’s hoping for another great season for all of our swimmers!

AT THE POOL Swim Lessons

The pool also will host swim lessons. These lessons are scheduled directly between parents and instructors. Swim lesson prices are same as last year: $30 for 30 minutes. Parents pay the instructor directly and cannot bill to their account. Swim lessons are only scheduled from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. to avoid conflicts with swim team and pool cleaning. Contact poolmanager@cycrr.org to sign up.

Adult Coached Swim

We also are offering a program to focus on improving the swimming skills of our adult membership. Adult Coached Swim will be held in the mornings two days a week, and it will be an opportunity for members to come and workout.

Adult Coached Swim will be run like a swim team, with set workouts each practice. While some experience is required, those interested will communicate with me regarding their skill level and what they are interested in improving. Based on this feedback, I will construct a workout plan that suits both regular participants and welcomes new guests.

The Adult Coached Swim program will be held again this year with days and times to be determined.

If you are interested in this program or have questions, contact me at poolmanager@cycrr.org.
