Lap Swimming Reminders
Lap
swimming reservations should only be booked for active swim time. We
are finding that many are making reservations for longer than they are
actually swimming or starting their swim well after the reservation
start.
Our staff will be taking a closer look this month and
auditing reservations. If reservation policies are not being followed
the $10 fee will be assessed.
Thank you to everyone who are mindful and thoughtful when making their reservations. Your efforts are greatly appreciated!
