Guest Policy
The Shaw JCC is a popular place for community members of all ages. To ensure that our members have the best possible experience at the Shaw JCC, our Board of Trustees has approved these guest policies, which apply to guests who accompany our members:


Lockers and Towel Service
We're pleased to offer full and half lockers for daily use at no charge. If you'd like to borrow a lock for day use, please show your card at the Fitness Desk.

You can rent a locker for the year for $75 for a half locker and $150 for a full locker; the senior adult rate is $50 for a half locker and $150 for a full locker.

However, if locks are left on overnight, we must remove the locks and empty the locker. We cannot be responsible for valuables removed from lockers.

We're pleased to offer towels at the Fitness Desk for an annual fee of $35 per family.

Family and Accessible Changing Rooms
Just off our main lobby, 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 reception desk staff for more information and directions to the family changing rooms.


Supervision Policy and Age Restrictions
We want the Shaw JCC to be the family place for people of all ages. Therefore, we require that an adult accompany a child under the age of 13 at all times. We ask parents of children ages 13-18 to use good discretion to determine the level of adult supervision required by their child.

For the safety of our members, the whirlpool, steam room and sauna, are for the use of members ages 16 and over.

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
So that all of our members feel comfortable at the Shaw JCC, 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 Shaw JCC reserves the right to determine what is appropriate clothing.

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 hanlded in the same way as physical force and may also result in suspension or loss of membership privileges.
