Pool POLICIES & guidelines

POOL LANE BOOKING
  • EACH LANE WILL HAVE A SET DESIGNATION. LANES 1-3 HAVE 2 AVAILABLE SPOTS PER LANE. LANE 4 IS A SINGLE USE LANE. LANE 1 IS THE LANE CLOSEST TO ENTRY INTO THE POOL AND LANE 4 IS THE LANE CLOSEST TO THE WINDOWS.
  • THE LANE YOU REGISTER FOR WILL BE THE LANE YOU NEED TO SWIM IN. NOT ALL LANES WILL HAVE BOTH SPOTS BOOKED AT ALL TIMES. YOU SHOULD VERIFY WHAT LANE YOU ARE ASSIGNED WHEN YOU CHECK-IN AT THE DESK.
  • Your lane assignment is simply first come, first serve in the lane you are swimming in. The “A” and “B” do not represent a particular side of the lane. For swimmers that do not wish to be near the stairs, you should set the reservation system to look for openings in lanes 2, 3 and 4 only.
  • WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE MEMBERS FROM THE SAME HOUSEHOLD TO SHARE A POOL LANE. FAMILY MEMBERS SHOULD TRY TO BOOK BOTH THE “A” AND “B” SPOTS OF THE SAME LANE IF SWIMMING AT THE SAME TIME.
  • FOR MEMBERS WHO USE THE POOL FOR EXERCISE PURPOSES (RATHER THAN SWIMMING) WE ADVISE THAT YOU RESERVE LANE 1 IF AVAILABLETHAT LANE PROVIDES ADDITIONAL ROOM FOR BOTH A SWIMMER AND AN EXERCISER TO HAVE PLENTY OF SPACE.
  • MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, THE FIRST AVAILABLE SWIM RESERVATION IS 5:15AM. RESERVATIONS WILL TAKE PLACE EVERY 45 MINUTES AFTER THAT.
  • RESERVATIONS MADE THROUGH THE ONLINE AND MOBILE APP SYSTEM WILL BEGIN AT 5AM TO CORRESPOND WITH THE CLUB OPENING AT 5AM.
  • As a reminder, pool reservations can be made up to 4 days in advance. For example, you may book swim reservations for Friday starting on Monday at 5am. This can be done via our mobile app, on-line system or by calling the club main line 781-894-7010.
  • MEMBERS WILL BE ABLE TO RESERVE A POOL LANE TIME IN ADVANCE NO MORE THAN TWICE PER 4-DAY ADVANCED BOOKING PERIOD. Once you have 2 advanced reservations, if you would like to schedule additional swim times you may contact the Front Desk to see if any same-day cancellations are available. Same-day reservations do not impact your advanced reservations.
POOL LANE POLICIES & PROTOCOLS
  • Members must use the rinse shower prior to entering the pool water.
  • Please be courteous to your fellow Swim Members and cancel any swim times you are not able to use. Even if you cancel with short notice that is appreciated as there are members who come over to the club with a bathing suit ready to use available reservations even as they arrive at the Club.
  • Members who “no show” for their pool reservations will be charged a $5 fee at the end of their reservation time. Multiple occurrences of this no show fee by the same member will result in pool privileges being turned off for that member.
  • ALL LAP SWIM RESERVATIONS ARE 40 MINUTES WITH A 5-MINUTE TRANSITION TIME (THIS IS THE TOTAL OF THE 45 MINUTE BOOKING). 
  • TO ENSURE A SMOOTH TRANSITION BETWEEN GROUPS, IT IS ESSENTIAL (AND REQUIRED) THAT YOU DO NOT ENTER THE POOL AREA UNTIL YOUR SCHEDULED POOL TIME. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF THE OTHER MEMBERS AND ALLOW THEM TO VACATE THE POOL ENTIRELY BEFORE THE NEXT GROUP ENTERS.
WATER FITNESS & FAMILY SWIM BOOKING
  • RESERVATIONS FOR H2O FITNESS CLASSES MAY BE BOOKED UP TO 10 DAYS IN ADVANCE. THE CLASS SIZE IS A MAXIMUM 20 PARTICIPANTS. FEES: $10 PER CLASS OR 4 CLASSES FOR $30 OR 12 CLASSES FOR $90
  • RESERVATIONS FOR HYDROBLAST CLASSES MAY BE BOOKED UP TO 3 DAYS IN ADVANCE, MAXIMUM 35 PARTICIPANTS. THESE CLASSES ARE INCLUDED WITH YOUR MEMBERSHIP DUES.
  • RESERVATIONS FOR FAMILY SWIM FOLLOW THE SAME SYSTEM AS RESERVING LAP SWIM TIME (DAY OF PLUS 4 DAYS IN ADVANCE). 
  • FAMILY SWIM TIME IS INTENDED FOR PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN TO USE THE POOL TOGETHER.
FAMILY SWIM GUIDELINES
  • Members must use the rinse shower prior to entering the pool water
  • Family swim time reservations are for 60-75 minute intervals with a 15 minute break after to allow time for members to exit the pool
  • Members may reserve one family swim time in advance per day
  • When booking a family swim time only the adult member needs to be listed in the reservation system (family members do not need to be listed)
  • The pool will be divided into 6 “zones” and each family will be assigned a “zone”
  • Family members must remain within their “zone” during the entire family swim time and no “zone” may be shared by members from another family
  • Pool equipment (kick boards, water dumbbells, flotation belts and noodles) used by members need to be placed in the used equipment bin and may not be shared by members
  • Please bring your own towel to the pool
  • Members are encouraged to use the hand sanitizer station prior to leaving the pool area
  • If you have a question about the family swim times, please ask one of the staff for assistance
