I haven't yet signed a Release Form. Why can't I swim?

Family (household): $720, 2-Person (Household): $465, Individual: $350

I forgot my pass and/or ID - can I swim anyway?
No. To protect our members and ensure their quiet enjoyment of the pool, a proper pass and ID is required for each and every visit.
I noticed weird-looking little lights on the building that never seem to be lit. What are they?
The Old Trail Swim Club is under continuous, recorded video surveillance. Cameras surveil the locker room entrances, pool entrance, and pool areas.
What happens if there is a thunderstorm or other inclement weather?
If the Lifeguards see lightning or hear thunder, all members and guests will be asked to clear the pool and pool deck. Swimmers will be allowed back into the pool area 30 minutes following the last spotted lightning and 15 minutes past the last audible thunderclap.
If heavy rains are predicted for an entire day, Pool Management may decide to close the Swim Club for the day. Notices of closing will be posted at the Pool Complex and online. Check www.OldTrailVillage.com/News for any announcements regarding possible closings. You may also follow @OldTrail and @OTSwimClub on Twitter for closing announcements.
Occassionally, the pool may close unexpectedly for unscheduled maintenance and cleaning. This is unfortunately out of the control of Swim Club staff and is unavoidable.
