Ok, I am headed to the pool, what should I expect when I arrive at the pool?

To expedite entry to the pool, we will have a quick entry line for pass holders who have their member access cards during busy periods. You can get your mobile registration account access cards through the Amilia App available in your app store via your smart phone. You can also use your pool card pass. If you do not have your own access barcode handy, no problem, we can look you up if you are able to provide a valid photo ID to check you in but might take a bit longer and you will need to enter through a separate line. Non-pass holders are also required to show an Amilia account before they pay at the entry gate.
