Urgent action needed to update your Beede Center Parking Permit!

We continue to have a problem with unauthorized parking in the Beede Center parking lot. Specifically with cars having a parking passes displayed being parked in our lot for extended periods of time during the school day. In an effort to identify misuse of our Beede Center parking passes, we are now requiring membership numbers be written on every parking pass so it can be easily identified and matched to an active membership.

We are asking ALL members to bring in their existing passes so we can add a membership number to it. Please make sure to always have your updated pass displayed when using our facility. Visit the front desk if you are in need a parking pass.

As a reminder, family memberships DO NOT include the privilege of using a family parking pass by students to park in our lot during the school day. The Beede lot is reserved for those who are actively using our facility. Unauthorized cars will be ticketed and misuse of a parking pass will result in being asked to turn in the parking pass.

As we open our doors to new members and our facility becomes busier each day, we would like to remind all members and guests of our lane sharing and circle swim rules. Our pool rules (located on the pool deck, online and in the member handbook) do state that:

“Lane sharing is required

of all lap swimmers”.

The Beede Center has a beautiful natatorium that is open over 95 hours a week. While we understand there is a lot of programming going on in our pools we want to ensure that all members are able to utilize our facility and during heavy traffic times lane sharing will be necessary. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
