Facility Policies: 

• First Class Sign-In: Due to security needs at the Columbia Athletic Club pools everyone must sign in at the front desk to acknowledge the CAC liability waiver and participation in the class. 
• Towels: Don’t forget to bring your own towels. Club towels are reserved for members only. 
• No Food, Drinks, Glass Containers:  Only water, in a non-glass container, is permitted on the pool deck and changing rooms. 
• Bags / Personal Items: Place all bags in available cubbies or underneath the benches, chairs, or tables. 
• Baby Changing: A changing table is provided poolside on deck for parent-tot families. Be sure to bring a towel or changing pad. 
• Disposable Diapers: The facility asks that you take your child’s soiled diapers home to dispose of them, and to please not throw them in the facility trash bins. 
• Shower before entering pool. You may use the deck showers; however please do not use shampoo or body wash in these. 
• Changing Rooms: When using the family changing rooms, please remember that other parents are waiting to use them and be respectful by getting in and out as quickly as possible. If you are a parent sitting on the side watching your spouse and child in their class, please do not go into the family change room 15, 10, or even 5 minutes before they exit the pool to “save” the room for your family. They are available on a first-come, first-served basis so that it is fair for everyone. 
• Strollers: We realize it may be hard to use the restroom, shower and get dressed if you are attending class alone with your baby, so the facility may provide umbrella strollers for your use if you need one. 
• Non-Member Swimming / Hot Tub Use: If you are not a member of the CAC, you cannot use the hot tub or get into the pool to swim before or after your Water Babies swim class. Please enter and exit the pool for class promptly.
