Membership and Access

Policies

Information about SRWS membership is available online or in the Information Office. Please contact 330-972-2348 for information about membership, facilities and programs.

• Participation in any area of the SRWC is at the user's own risk. The appropriate SRWS Facility Release waiver must be completed prior to initial facility use for each patron.
• SRWS strongly recommends that each individual have a medical examination and physician approval prior to engaging in any activity sponsored by SRWS.
• All individuals entering the SRWC for usage are required to maintain an active membership or be sponsored into the facility by a current member utilizing the guest pass process.
• All members must present either a valid Zip Card, SRWS Membership Card, or DSE RecCenter app barcode at the front desk to obtain access to SRWS facilities.
• A valid ID must be presented at each time of entry, even if re-entering the facility on the same day.
• IDs in the possession of someone other than the rightful owner will be confiscated and membership privileges will immediately be modified, suspended or revoked.
• SRWS staff reserves the right to request additional positive photo identification of students and members at any time. Note that Zip Cards are the property of the University of Akron and must be shown or surrendered to University officials upon request. For more information see the Zip Card Accounts Disclosure Statement.
• Non-members who wish to purchase a guest pass must be sponsored into the facility by a current member—utilizing the guest pass purchase process—and complete an informed consent waiver. Guest passes are available to anyone 18 or older or children accompanied by a parent or guardian.
• One parent or guardian is recommended for every 3 children using the facility. Direct supervision is required for children under 14, per the youth membership policies. No day care facilities are available.
• SRWS staff reserves the right to refuse admittance or to request individuals to leave the facility.
• All individuals are expected to leave the facility by posted closing times. Note that all regular pool activities end 10 minutes before the posted closing time.
