If you were a 2019 or 2020 member, you received a 2021 membership application in the mail. Please mail or drop off a check with your completed 2021 membership form (both sides) to the office (payable to AVRCC).

If you would like to join in -person, please stop by the pool office during office hours which are posted in a separate announcement.

All members age 4 and older will receive a photo ID card which will be scanned when you enter the pool gates. Non-swimmers age 4 – 17 will receive a green card and then upon entrance will receive a wristband so our guards know they only belong in the shallow area of the pool (non-swimmers may not go on the bridges, concrete, catwalks, diving platform/boards or in the deep, even with an adult).

Non-swimmers may ask a guard when they are ready to take the swim test (swim the length of the deep; head down, breathe to the side; good, strong stroke, swim without stopping).

THANK YOU!!!

On behalf of our board of directors, we want to say “Thank You!!” to our members, our staff and our community. We weren’t sure that the 2020 season would happen and if we opened if we would be able to stay open. We made the decision to try and open and do our best to keep everyone, both members and employees safe and working together and everyone doing their part….we did it!! Our members joined, our concession stand opened and the employees came to work and we made it. Our season looked a little different but it was still awesome and the best thing we heard from everyone was that they could feel “normal” at the pool. We are honored that you choose to be a part of the AVRCC community and we are looking forward to an even more normal season next year and we hope that it brings swim team and moonlight swims and 4th of July celebrations and all of our annual traditions back again for 2021!
