Do Not Resuscitate (DNR)
UVAC’s policy on a DNR is that we will respond to keep a member or guest here at UVAC and will initiate life-saving measures until the EMS arrives. The reasons for this position include but are not limited to the inability for a UVAC staff member to validate authenticity of the DNR and that there are differences State-to-State in the USA on the subject of a DNR.

Group Visits (10 or more people from a recognized organization) may come for the day for a discount. Advanced registration required.
UVAC rents lanes in the Competition Pool for water polo, rescue classes, training session and swim meets.
- No glass containers please! If one gets dropped and shatters, ouch! If it happens near the pools we may have to shut them down. Water and sports drinks in plastic containers are OK.
- Smoking is prohibited.
- Weapons of any sort are prohibited
- Illegal drugs & alcoholic beverages are not permitted.
- Food- For your convenience we have a cafe. You can bring your own snacks, but please limit consumption to the lobby area. Smooshed, wet Goldfish and muffins are really hard to get off the pool deck and locker room floors.
- Injuries- Your safety is important. Please report all injuries, no matter how slight. We can help treat you, but also, it could alert us to a situation where we can take action to prevent another similar injury from happening in the future.
Children 13 years and under must be supervised at all times by a PAYING PARENT or GUARDIAN who is 18 years or older. The only exception is if the child is participating in an ORGANIZED UVAC PROGRAM where we provide the extra supervision, like swim team. Children seven years and under, must be accompanied by adult in the water with the child within arms reach.
The temperature is between 78-80 degrees all year long. It is cooler because it is a competition pool and people exercise vigorously in it. This temperature is best for training.
