Pool Policies

All persons using the aquatics facility during the recreational swim (lap swimming and open swim) must swipe their Wildcat Card at the CSC Service Desk. Once they are at the pool area they must sign in on the iPad with their W Number or as a Guest.

Participants of academic classes, Campus Recreation classes, and rental groups do not need to sign in; however, the lifeguard on duty must obtain a patron count for these activities.

All patrons should take a cleansing shower before entering the pool. This assists in keeping the pool clean and reduces activation of the chlorine, which in turn reduces the likelihood of itching skin.
