2010 GROUP ADMISSION POLICY
Park Forest Community Swimming Pool
Welch Community Swimming Pool

Since Welch Pool will not open in 2010,, this policy has been revised to better accommodate patrons at Park Forest Pool. Specifically, the admission discount has been reduced and the number of “Group Admissions” has been limited to one group (max. group size of 35) per 2-hour period.

The 2010 CRPR Pricing Policy includes:

• Daily Admission Rates:
           Age 3-10 $4 R / $6 N per person
           Ages 11+ $5 R / $7 N per person
• Season Passes:
           $45 R / $68 N for ages 3-10 and 65+
           $60 R / $90 N for ages 11-64
• An “After 5 PM” Admission Rate of $4 R / $6 N per person (for all ages)
• A non-swimming (and not attired in swimwear) chaperone rate of $2.00 per person
• 2010 Group Admission Rate of $4.50 per person R and N /All ages

If an organization requests the 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. For 2010, no more ONE group of up to 35 members will be admitted to Park Forest Pool at one time, except with the express approval of the Aquatics Supervisor. The Pool Staff may decline admission to 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 35 group-members (including supervisors) at any one time onto pool grounds for an afternoon period.

• The 35 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 $4 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 35 children, they may choose to rotate groups of up to 35 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 trade-off for the reduced group entrance rates. No time restrictions will apply to groups if they purchase standard daily admissions or individual season passes.
