Yes, residents can bring a guest that is a Non-resident.  They must be accompanied at all times.  The fee is $8.00 per guest (see guest policy). When bringing a guest, the resident will need to fill out a form at the pool Cashier’s Desk. A resident can bring up to 2 guests; due to capacity please call the Pool Cashier’s desk if you are looking to bring more.

Sorry, no.  Avon ITWs may not purchase a daily pass.  If you are a non-resident but work in Avon (ITW), you may purchase a season pass, good for the entire summer, or a VIPool pass, good for seven visits.  These passes can only be purchased at the Parks and Recreation Department Monday-Friday 7:30am-3:30pm- 35001 Schwartz Road.

2021 season passes are on sale NOW!  What are you waiting for??  Click HERE for pass pricing!

Non-resident guests must accompany an Avon resident or a non-resident employee of an Avon business to gain admittance. A daily guest fee applies. Residents may choose to either purchase a season pass or pay a daily admission.

For a non-resident to purchase a pass they must work in the city of Avon and pay the city income tax.  These members are called “ITW’s” for Income Taxed Workers. All Avon residents are eligible to purchase season passes.

To become a Red Cross certified lifeguard you must be 15 years old. That is also the age to be eligible to work as a lifeguard at the Avon Pool. Lifeguard classes are being offered through the French Creek YMCA. Avon Pool lifeguards earn between $10-$13 per hour, based on experience and additional certifications.  All lifeguards must be Red Cross certified.

With its 4-5 short course lanes available during open swim hours, the Pool is great for lap swimmers!  The exception is when the 50m pool is closed for a swim meet.  Additional weekday lap swim time is available during the mornings prior to public swim sessions.  This includes 50m long course opportunities at 6:30 a.m. in June and July.  Check the schedule for more information.  master swimmers utilize some lanes Monday and Wednesday evenings, and adults are invited to join this coached session.  Keep an eye on our “Events” page for more information.

Yep, starting at 1:00 p.m. weekdays, and noon on weekends.  Rest periods last 15 minutes and take place at the top of every hour.  Adults 18 and older may swim at this time.  Activity features will be closed, though diving boards will remain open.  (It’s a great time to collect your kids and take a much-needed bathroom break!)

All children under the age of 9 need to be accompanied by a responsible adult (age 15 or older).

Swimming ability is required to be in water over shoulder depth.  Persons using life jackets are required to remain in the shallow water.  A swim skill test (15-20 yards) is offered at the beginning of rest periods.  Children age 13 and younger must pass this test to swim in deep water or use the diving boards.  A wrist band designates successful completion of the skills test and must be worn for guards to see.

Please refer to the Pool Rules page for info on floats, balls, face masks and snorkels and swim goggles.

The shallow end of the 50m pool is set up for ball playing.  This area features water basketball and even water volleyball at designated times during the Summer.  The use of “soft foam” balls, beach balls or our water basketball/volleyballs are restricted to this area.  We ask patrons not to use our balls in the Activity pool area.  Playing catch in the far corner of the grass area may also be permitted.  Please, no ball playing, shooting baskets or dribbling on the deck.

To comply with social distancing mandates in 2021, both the Competition Pool (including the diving boards) AND the Activity Pool will close in advance of a swim meet for set-up (4:00 p.m.), and will remain closed to the public during the meet.

We’ll try our best to be accommodating.  We recognize that people will want to carry some snacks or small drinks into the pool in their bags.  We’re asking that those items be consumed in designated areas such as the concession patio, grass areas and pavilion, and not on the main deck lounging areas.  The facility strictly prohibits bringing in coolers and/or ordering food or drink deliveries from outside vendors.

There will be restrictions on bringing in coolers and glass containers but snack items of a limited quantity will most likely be permitted.

Unfortunately, the pavilion will not be available for parties in 2021.  We hope to bring back parties in 2022.
