Changing areas and lockers

As a member, you have access to lockers with in-locker combination locks, so you don’t need to bring a lock—simply set a combination when you come to the pool.

The pool locker rooms also include hair dryers and SuitMate bathing suit spinners. SuitMate removes up to 95 percent of the water in a suit in 10 seconds while protecting the fabric.
