Gym + Pool Rules
GYM + POOL RULES
POLICIES FOR MINORS:
Trout Creek Rec Center has updated its youth access policy, allowing members ages 13-17 to enjoy all areas of the facility— including pools and spa—without adult supervision once they have attended a mandatory gym orientation and a new online waiver is completed and signed by a parent or guardian. This change replaces the previous gym sticker program, making it easier for teens to stay active and independent at Trout Creek. The Youth Access Waiver can be filled out conveniently online (after mandatory in-person orientation) or on the tablet available at the Rec Center front desk.
- Members under the age of 13 are not allowed to use the gym, even under the direct supervision of a legal guardian, without prior permission from the management.
- Guests between the age of 13-17 are not permitted to use the gym without direct supervision.
