Attention All Lap Swimmers and Fitness Class Participants

This Notice is EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 2021

Due to the large number of people wanting to make reservations we have run into a problem. Many people are making lots of reservations and not showing up for their assigned time. To combat this growing problem, we are implementing a new process where lap swims and fitness class reservations are only available for two-week blocks which will open one week prior to the block starting to reserve.

Lap Swimmers will only be able to reserve one hour block at a time. If you need more time you may ask the cashier when you check in if there is an opening at the end of your reserved time that you can now reserve, or you may reserve a hydro fitness spot in the deep end to complete your swimming.

Reservation Dates	Opens in RecDesk for Reservations
April 1 - April 17	March 22
April 18 – May 1	April 12
May 2 – May 15	April 26
May 16- May 30	May 10

If you are unable to make your assigned reservation, please give us at least 24 hours’ notice when cancelling (903)464-4475. We realize there will be special circumstances on occasion but these are the rules we need to set going forward. If you miss TWO reservations without cancelling at least 24 hours in advance, your reservations will be cancelled for the next 2 weeks and your time slot will go back up for others to reserve. You can always log on and check for availability at any time and pick up some of the cancelled lap lanes or call and ask a cashier if there is a available lane.

We understand that this is not ideal, nor will some people feel it is fair. Please know that our only goal is to ensure that as many people who want to safely swim at Waterloo Pool get a chance to do so. If you have comments or questions, please feel free to contact me at dsmith@cityofdenison.com

Fitness Classes are by RESERVATION ONLY!

Classes are limited to 15 people per class. Physical distancing is required. If you make multiple reservations and do not attend or call to cancel if you are unable to come we will pull your remaining reservations to allow everyone the opportunity to come to classes. You must sign in to the class with the cashier when checking in. NO MORE THAN 15 are ALLOWED PER CLASS at this time!

Reservations are done under the Programs tab of RecDesk.

Swim Team spaces are limited to 30 per team per practice.

For the safety of the swimmers and coaches please wear a mask if you are in the pool area. If the pool becomes overcrowded or parents/guardians are not complying with mask requirements then you will be asked to stay in cars or outside of the pool deck. This will most likely be the case when summer begins as our team numbers continue to grow.

Denison Dolphins on Monday's or Tuesday from 4:30-5:30pm

Metroplex Aquatics Denison USA Swim Team Monday-Thursday 5:30-7:00pm
