Out-of-Town Guests

It's good when family and friends come to visit! We welcome out-of-town guests up to 14 times per calendar year. Please call 330-867-7850 for more information on pricing and restrictions.

 

*ReciprocityOut-of-town guests with proof of membership at another JCC may use our facilities free of charge. Membership Associates reserve the right to call your home JCC to verify membership.

Lockers and Towel Service 

 

Monthly towel service is available for $16 per month for single adults or $32 per month for families/couples. The fee will be drafted monthly from your account just as membership is. You must have a valid back account or credit card on file for drafting purposes. 

Family and Accessible Changing Rooms 

 

You’ll find family changing rooms available to those who cannot use the stairs from the lower level locker rooms to the indoor pool and to families who would like a private place to change together before and after swimming. Please ask our member service staff for more information and directions to the family changing rooms.

 

To safeguard our members’ privacy, we ask that children six years of age and older use the appropriate locker room for their gender. If your child of the opposite gender needs some help from you in the locker room, we invite you to use the family locker rooms located off the main lobby.

Attire

 

For our members to feel comfortable at The J, please wear appropriate attire in our facility. Shirts and shoes are required in all areas except the locker room and the pools, and, for safety reasons, proper footwear must be worn in physical activity spaces. We cannot allow outdoor shoes in the gymnasium. The J reserves the right to determine what is appropriate clothing.

Keeping it Kosher!

 

All food served by the Shaw JCC must be kosher, and we ask that all food brought in to the building and outdoor pool be respectful of the laws of kashrut and those who keep kosher. What does that mean? Jewish tradition dictates that meat and milk be kept separate from one another in the kitchen, on the table, and in our stomachs. Because Jewish law also dictates certain rules about meat types and preparation, we ask that you leave meat at home and, when you’re bringing food to The J, pack cheese sandwiches, tuna fish, peanut butter and jelly, and all of the other wonderful treats you can imagine that don’t include meat!

Shabbat (Saturday) Policy

 

Jewish law and tradition embrace the Sabbath – Saturday, a day of rest, when no work is done and no money changes hands. To respect that tradition, we do not sell goods or services at The J on Sat.. Please remember to buy guest passes ahead of time. We cannot charge member accounts for guest passes or Shabbat cards.

Loss of Privileges 

 

The use of physical force against another person or with the intent of damaging Shaw JCC property may result in suspension or loss of privileges. Verbal abuse will be handled in the same way as physical force and may also result in suspension or loss of membership privileges. The Shaw JCC of Akron reserves the right to revoke any membership in event of inappropriate behavior, failure to follow safety rules and/or disruptive behavior to Members or Staff.

Photo/Video Permissions

 

Unless otherwise noted on the account, The Shaw JCC of Akron reserves the right to use the name and photographic likeness of all individuals included on the membership in all forms and media for advertising, trade, and any other lawful purpose.
