Swimming Pool Policies

Inclement Weather

Opening and/or closing the pool in the case of inclement weather will be at the discretion of the lifeguards in consultation with the general manager.

Guests and Fees

Members and their guests must register before entering the pool area. Members will be billed for their guests on their monthly statements or can elect to pay cash at the time of registration. Each guest who resides within a 50-mile radius of Athens is limited to six visits per season and must be accompanied by a member. Visiting family members and guests of ACC members who reside within a 50-mile radius of Athens must pay guest fees. Visiting family members or guests of ACC members who reside outside a 50-mile radius of Athens may use the pool as non-paying guests. The guest fee is $5 per person per day.

Bringing grandchildren to the club pool

Grandchildren, age 12 and under, may use the club pool free of charge when with a member-grandparent. Grandchildren, age 13 and over, may use the club pool at a guest fee of $5 per visit when with a member-grandparent. The limit of six visits per season will be waived for grandchildren. And all grandchildren MUST be accompanied by the grandparent-member unless the member-grandparent is the legal guardian.

Babysitters/Nannies

Babysitters are responsible to watch and care for the memberŐs child while at the ACC pool and may use the pool as non-paying guests while accompanying a memberŐs child under the age of 12. All baby sitters must be 13 years old or older. All members are to notify the office of designated babysitters/nannies and provide emergency contact information for the babysitter and child for our record. Any person accompanying an adult member as a babysitter will be considered a guest and charged the guest fee.

Children Age Restrictions

All children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult or babysitter/nanny. All children 8-12 years of age must pass the swim test administered by the lifeguard to be able to swim in the pool unaccompanied by an adult. Any child 8-12 years of age, who has not passed the swim test, must be accompanied by an adult or adult babysitter/nanny.
