Lap Swimming Lane Reservations

Lanes for lap swimming are reserved similarly to tennis courts in Club Automation. Change the top left dropdown box from “Tennis” to “Swimming Pool” to see the available lanes. Two reservations are available for each lane in each time slot. Lane reservations are 40-60 minutes in length, depending on the time of day. Reserve at ic.clubautomation.com. Lanes may be booked one day in advance, starting at
9:00 a.m. During lap swim, the pool is not guarded. All swimmers should be accompanied by another adult or junior who is at least 14 years old during this time. Adult observers may sit on the deck.

Open Swim

Open Swim is unstructured recreational time at the pool. There are trained lifeguards on duty during all open swim times. Parents and guardians of young swimmers should also remain vigilant. Approved toys and swim accessories are allowed in the pool during Open Swim. Swim accessories must be approved by the lifeguards, and they must be larger than a tennis ball to ensure that they don’t get caught in the pool filters. Hard athletic balls are prohibited for safety reasons. During peak times, patrons may be asked to take large flotation devices out of the water. Adult Swim is a regularly scheduled period at the top of every hour when only patrons over 18 may be in the pool. This time serves as an opportunity for adults to use the pool and also as a break for children to get out of the pool, rehydrate, and take a few minutes out of the sun. Any swimmers wishing to swim in the deep end must pass a swim test proving that they can swim the length of the pool without struggle. Lifeguards will give this lap test during adult swim. Anyone wishing to take the swim test may go to the snack bar to coordinate with the lifeguards. The Irvington Club is not responsible for the loss of valuables at the pool. Lockers are available to rent. Please see the front desk for availability. In the event of a thunderstorm with nearby lightning or other severe weather, the pool may be closed for safety reasons. The pool deck may also be closed for necessary maintenance or staff training events. In the event of any scheduled pool closure, the Club website will be updated with this information at the top of this page
