2012 PRESCHEDULED GROUP ADMISSION POLICY
Park Forest Community Swimming Pool
Welch Community Swimming Pool

2011 Prescheduled Group Admission Rates:
●  $5 per person for Resident-based groups (all ages)
●  $7 per person for Nonresident-based groups (all ages)

If an organization requests the Prescheduled Group Admission Rate, the request will be considered with the following provisions:

• In the interest of safety, groups must schedule all swim dates & times at least 24 hours in advance with the Aquatics Supervisor. No more than two groups of up to 50 members each will be admitted to either pool at one time, except with the express approval of the Aquatics Supervisor. In the interest of safety, the Pool Staff may decline request for unscheduled groups at the Group Admission Rate.
• A group is defined as a non-family party consisting of at least 10 persons, including supervisors and leaders.
• An organization may send no more than 50 group-members (including supervisors) at any one time onto pool grounds for an afternoon period,
• The 50 group-members from that organization may stay on pool grounds no longer than 2 hours (i.e., 1-3 PM, 3-5 PM).
• The group supervisors must accompany and actively supervise the swimmers during the entire period. At least one supervisor must be present for each 10 children.
• All entrants related to the group will be included in the calculation of the group admission fee at $5 per person (i.e., supervisors, chaperones, group leaders, babysitters, parents, swimmers & non-swimmers), except non-swimming chaperones, not attired in swimwear will be admitted @ $2.00. It is noted that season passholders of the group will be counted as a group member, but are exempt from the admission fee.
• This policy applies to all groups and organizations, including CRPR camp programs. The maximum time per day is 2 hours per swimmer-group (vs.2-hours per organization). If the organization has more than 50 children, they may choose to rotate groups of up to 50 into the pool, reduce their pool time to accommodate their schedule, or rotate the days per week that a particular group would visit the pool. Group Admission fees are not eligible for refund, credit, same-day readmission or “next visit” discount coupons.
• The group leader will log-in and out with the Pool Cashier, certify the group count for each visit, sign the invoice for payment of the appropriate entrance fees (terms: net 10 days), and be responsible for the conduct and the 2-hour (maximum) schedule of the group on pool grounds. Groups who abuse the supervision policies, pool conduct rules, invoice payments, or the time limits may be suspended from using the pools by the Pool Managers, Aquatics Supervisor or the Agency Director.

This policy was adopted in response to pool customer concerns, and to provide a fair tradeoff for the reduced group entrance rates. No time restrictions will apply to groups if they purchase standard daily admissions or utilize individual season passes.
