ADVERSE WEATHER
If adverse weather occurs (e.g. lightning, torrential rain, cold temps, etc.), that forces Aquatics staff to close our outdoor pools during a given 1.5 hour time slot for more than 30 minutes of that slot, we will be issuing "rain checks" in the form of a full credit to the patron's Perfect Mind account. If patrons are inside the facility for less than 1 hour including those not able to enter due to weather, we will be issuing a "rain check." Rain checks will be processed within 24 hours, for every spot that is paid for. If our facility remains open for more than 1 hour, no rain checks will be given. We suggest everyone looks at weather forecasts prior to arrival.
