General RWC Guidelines

1. Children using the facility age 7 and under must be directly supervised by a responsible caretaker age 14 and older. When direct supervision is required for a child, supervision is defined as that person being an arms length away from the child and/or being in direct line of site of the child. The child supervisor will not be allowed to leave the child in one area while he/she uses a different area. The supervisor must accompany the child at all times. These rules will be strictly followed and are for safety reasons to protect the child and other members.

2. Street shoes worn into to the RWC should be clean and dry to prevent potential damage to the facility and for safety reasons.

3. The RWC is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged personal property. Lost and found items will be held at the front desk for no longer then two weeks. After that the lost items will be disposed of or given to Goodwill.

4. Members and guests are responsible for securing their valuables at all times. The RWC encourages members and guests NOT to bring large sums of money, valuable jewelry, or other items of significant value to the RWC.

5. Any foul language, inappropriate and disruptive behavior may result in being asked to leave the facility immediately.

6. Illegal drugs, alcohol, gambling and weapons are not allowed in the RWC facility. The RWC is a tobacco (including chewing tobacco) free facility – use of tobacco within the building is NOT permitted.

7. Cell phone use in the facility is limited to the front lobby area.

8. All members and guests must check in at the front desk when entering the facility.

9. Group events or gatherings must be scheduled with the RWC Director or his/her designee.

10. Animals are not to be brought into the facility, unless for handicap purposes and only with prior approval.

11. Consumption of food and/or beverages will be confined to the concession area.

12. No outside food is allowed into the RWC without prior permission from RWC staff.

13. In-line skates, non-motorized scooters, and skateboards are not allowed in the facility nor are they to be used for recreational reasons on RWC property. When used for transportation, they must be removed prior to entrance and left outside the building.

14. For safety reasons, running in the building is only allowed in the gym and on the track.

17. No food or beverages are allowed in the carpeted lounge area. Television channel selection and volume will be controlled by RWC staff.

18. Members are issued membership cards when they become members. Members should use their cards for admittance into the RWC. If a member looses their card they can purchase a new one for $2.00. Members who fail to bring their membership cards add to the cost of operations of the facility by requiring staff members to manually enter their information into the computer. Those members not bringing their cards may experience a delay in being admitted into the facility while a staff member can enter their information. This is necessary to protect the facility from false use of someone else’s card and to alert staff of expired memberships/outstanding obligations and/or behavioral holds.

19. A first aid station is located at the front desk or in the aquatics coordinator’s office.
Violations of RWC policies may result in immediate removal from the facility. Offenders will be subject to suspension of privileges. No reimbursement fees will be granted. Any concerns should be brought to RWC staff.
