Guest Policy

We will be allowing guests at our outdoor pool and our facility! Please visit our Members & Guests Policies page.

 

Babysitter Passes

Please take note of our babysitter pass policies:

  • Babysitter passes will be assigned to ONE PERSON and that person’s personal information and photo must be on file just like a member’s information would.  This is for security purposes.
  • Families may request up to two babysitter passes. Each Babysitter pass is $150 and is valid for 120 days. 
  • If you have an existing babysitter pass, it will need to match our current cards that include a photo of the babysitter printed on it for security purposes. NO non-photo cards will be accepted.
  • If a babysitter pass is lost, it will need to be replaced and there will be a $15 administrative replacement fee charged for the new pass.
  • The babysitter’s parent or guardian must sign one of our new facility waivers on the babysitter’s behalf (if a minor).

 

Inclement Weather

The National Lightning Safety Institute recommends waiting at least 30 minutes after the last sound of thunder is heard before resuming activity in the water for pools. The Shaw JCC indoor and outdoor pools are connected by underground pipes and pump systems, so we follow this rule year-round. In the case of thunder or lightning, swimmers may be asked to exit the indoor and outdoor pool areas for at least 30 minutes. In the event that American Red Cross Swim Lessons are taking place during this time, students will be offered a safety instructional class. Classes will not be canceled or rescheduled due to instructor availability. Prior to arriving at the Shaw JCC, please check our “My Akron J” app or call 330-867-7850 to inquire if the pools are open in case of inclement weather.

 

Membership Cards
Please remember to bring your membership card every time you visit our facility and swipe in. Lap swimmers must swipe in at the fitness desk and open swim members must swipe in at the pool gate. During these times, please make every effort to bring your membership card with you when you come to The J. Cards left overnight will be taken to the member service desk located in the fitness center.
