ABOUT MEMBERSHIP
In order to become an Elks Pool Member the following must take place in this order.
1. You must belong to the Elks Lodge. Contact [email protected]
2. Once you are interviewed, you will be scheduled to be initiated.
3. Only after you have been initiated you will be able to log in to our portal and place yourself on the waitlist.
5. You will receive an email inviting you to join the pool as opening are available. Generally pool membership closes by June 1st. If you do not receive a pool membership for the current year, you will automatically remain on the waitlist for the following year.
6. Your application will not be approved if your lodge payments are delinquent. This applies to ALL POOL MEMBERS.
7. Any application that is not submitted by an official Lodge Member of Elks 307 will be deleted. In the event that it is accidentally processed we reserve the right to not accept the payment as acceptance to the pool membership. The New Member/Waitlist $25.00 fee is non-refundable.
Helpful information:
*We send out all pool applications on February 1 of the current year.
*Following this no new membership invitations will go out until after the first deadline of April 1st for current members.
*Current members that do not join by April 15th will be assessed a late fee (no exceptions) and could put their membership in jeopardy as we will start inviting members on the waitlist.
*Once we reach capacity we will close the pool membership for the season.
*The late fee will increase after June 1 (no exceptions) and memberships are in jeopardy and will be replaced with new members.
We do our best to be fair and adhere to these rules and appreciate everyone following the above.
Any questions can be sent to [email protected]. We will get back to you as soon as we can. It can take a few days especially during our off season. We appreciate your patience.
Please take five minutes to read through as there are a few updates to ensure a fun, safe environment for all! All members are responsible for making sure their children and guests are aware of and are following the rules. Thank you in advance and we look forward to a great 2024 season!
DECK & POOL SAFETY: Respect the Lifeguards. They are following the direction of the Pool Manager. If you have an issue please bring it up with the Pool Manager – do not oppose the life guards. All posted rules will be enforced by the lifeguards! Additionally, for everyone’s safety and comfort:No flotation devices of any kind in the big pool.
No water guns of any kind are permitted on pool grounds.
Use of the baby pool is for children 7 years old and under, no exceptions.
GRILL USE: Grills are available for the use and convenience of all guests. Please be courteous of others and use safe grilling practices. Do not pour grease, oil or marinades onto to the grill or directly onto your food while on the grill. This is a fire hazard! Also, please use proper grill utensils while grilling and wash them for the next person when you are through. Please scrape the grill clean for the next member.
Don’t let the pool close mid-day….In past summers there had been an unfortunate occurrence that caused the pool to be closed for an hour and half on a perfect, 90 degree day! That’s right. This is the very reason that we have the rule that all babies and any child that is not fully potty trained (past the stage of having accidents) must wear rubber pants over their swim diapers in the pool. We agree, they are not the most fashionable attire to look at, but DO serve a very important purpose!
Speaking of diapers – please do not change baby diapers on picnic tables or benches and do not dispose of diapers in poolside trashcans. Changing areas are provided in restrooms and only bathroom trashcans should be used for baby diaper disposal.
Alcohol & Smoking:
·Alcohol is permitted at the Elks as long as purchased at the Elks Lodge. When making your purchases from the lodge, please buy cans or if buying wine-pour into plastic cups before you return to the pool.
Smoking/Vaping is prohibited on the concrete pool deck and within the entire baby pool fence. Above all, please be courteous to other guests when smoking/vaping within other areas of the pool grounds, move away from children and other non-smokers, etc. and be sure to make use of the ash cans (located near the outdoor sink)
Bathrooms & Showers: Please monitor your children’s use of bathrooms and showers as a courtesy to all guests. Bathrooms will be cleaned by the lifeguards daily and they will check throughout the day to fill paper products and empty trash as needed. If you see that the bathroom needs attention, please alert one of the lifeguards. Showers are provided for all guests to rinse off before and after swimming. Please monitor your children’s use of showers. They should not be used for warming up or playing. If children are playing in the showers, they may be asked to turn them off by a lifeguard or other pool parent.
Trash – It is not the lifeguards job to clean-up after you. Please clean up your area and throw away any trash. The guards will make sure the trash cans are emptied on a regular basis but they are not there to pick up after us.
Lost and Found:The lost and found bin is located in front of the guard shack. The lost and found bin will be cleaned out weekly and the contents donated or discarded. Please make a habit of checking the bin for lost articles.
Guest Passes – Cost is $4 per Guest Credit. An Adult cost is 2 credits, Children 12 and under cost is 1 credit. A Guest Book of 12 credits is $40. These Guest passes can be bought in your portal and will be billed to you at the end of the week. We will not be accepting payment at the gate. A guest will be checked in and only be permitted to enter the pool with valid guest pass credits and with the accompanying member. No guest will be permitted without the member being present. Guest pass credits must be used for a non-member to enter pool grounds with a member – regardless of whether they are actually using the swimming pool. Guests must abide by all pool rules.
Parties: The pool is a great place to host a party for kids or adults! Please see the lifeguards at the front gate to inquire about guest passes for your party guests and/or reserving the pavilion. Pavilion reservations are on a first come first serve basis. Reservation cannot be made until the pool opens for the season – Lifeguards are the only one who can make the reservations.
When holding tables for a party – the pool member(s) must remain on the grounds at all times. You may not reserve your table(s) and leave the premises.
Sitter Fee – You may have one sitter per family. The fee is $60. The Sitter may accompany your child/children. If the Sitter comes with the adult(s) then the Sitter will be admitted to the pool as a guest.
Gate check-in upon arrival: All members and guests will be asked to provide their name upon arrival with each visit to the pool. Check in will be done electronically for members and their guests.
The Elks lodge and pool has a strong legacy of providing a fun, safe environment for all of our members! We have a pool we can be proud of and with everyone working together to keep it that way, that legacy will continue long into the future! Here’s looking forward to a wonderful season!!!
