Early Bird Lap Swimming

Early Bird Lap Swimming is available to members only; members may not bring guests. During swim-team season (from opening to end of July), Early Birds can access the pool on M-F before 7:30AM and on Sat/Sun before 10:30AM. After the final weekend in July, Early Birds can use the pool on M-F before 10:30AM. There will be several weekend mornings throughout the summer when the lifeguards will have in-service trainings before 10AM, which takes priority over Early-Bird lap swimming. All Early Birds must complete the Early Bird Waiver form. Once you complete a form, you will be contacted with instructions for accessing the pool itself.

• No lifeguards are on duty during Early Bird hours; you are swimming at your own risk.
• Early Bird lap swimming is available to adults only (18+) with the following exceptions: a parent can bring a child, and teens aged 15-18 can petition the Pool Manager to be allowed.
• The gate into the parking lot will be closed during these hours; Early Birds need to park outside the gate.
• Early Birds may use the pool for lap-swimming or aquatics exercise ONLY. No diving.
• The Key West Club strongly advises participants never to swim alone and to bring a cell phone in case of emergency; the phone in the Snack Shack will not be available during Early Bird hours.
• Early Birds should close the gate upon departure and make sure to leave the pool area in the condition in which it was found.
• Early Birds may be required to learn how to safely fold back the thermal cover on the pool if it is in place when they arrive (varies by season).
