Members may book parties to be held during normal pool hours. The cost is $10 for the party and $1 for any non-member in the party. Guest tickets may also be used for non-members at the party. Parties of more than 25 people are discouraged. Parties should not last longer than three hours. If you are meeting a few other families up at the pool for dinner, and it isn't really a party, but more of a gathering of friends who are members and enjoying the pool, send Brian an email and let him know. This is especially true if you are all going to be using tables. It isn't that we are trying to restrict your usage, or trying to collect a party fee for something that isn't a party. It is so that we aren't surprised when four families of four or five members per family walk through the door and take up a section of tables when we might have a few parties scheduled. We don't want to charge you for a something like a gathering of four families. We just want to be prepared for it. Scout Groups: We are happy to host your meetings or facilitate a swim test if a member is present with the group. Please (have the member) email and let us know so we can put you on the schedule. Also, meetings or swim tests need to occur during the posted hours. Please do not have your group show up early expecting to use the facilities. Also, please do not have scouts who missed a scheduled swim test randomly show up and demand a test. They will not be accommodated.Thanks for your cooperation. During May, before the end of the school year, parties on weekdays are not allowed after school due to crowded conditions in the afternoons/evenings. This applies only to regular parties during open hours. Private parties may still be scheduled on Mondays when the pool is closed. Reservations must be made for all parties, meetings, etc. If you aren't sure if you need a reservation for your gathering, or to make a reservation, email Brian Albright or call 327-6373. Please include the following information in your message: your name, your phone number/s, date of the party, beginning and ending times of the party, number and approximate age of those attending the party. Make sure that you contact Brian early so that you can assure yourself of a space on the date you want. Many people schedule parties during the spring and summer and we cannot accommodate everybody. If, for some reason Brian does not get back with you, do not assume that your party has been scheduled until confirmed by Brian. Send him an email just to make sure. Private parties may also be reserved on Mondays during the summer, when the pool is not open. Members who sponsor parties must be present and are responsible for the actions of those attending their party. Private parties may be scheduled at the pool on Monday afternoons and evenings starting in May. Please review the policy guidelines below for more information regarding private parties, including the reservation form. All private parties must be approved by the WHAC Board of Directors. Please submit your request early to give adequate time for board approval to be secured.
