Guidelines for Usage:

• Hot tub is open on a reservation use basis only – reservations can be made by calling the HGN front desk at (319) 366-6421.  Reservations can be made one day in advance (Monday reservations can be made beginning on Saturday mornings)
• Hot tub is limited in capacity to four individuals for each available time block
• There is one 15 minute time block available per lap swim reservation hour
• Time blocks will run from 15 minutes past the hour to 30 minutes past the hour for each lap swim hour that the pool is open
• As with lap swimmers, hot tub patrons will be admitted to the pool area at 10 minutes past the hour
• Those swimming laps will go to their assigned lanes, those using the hot tub will go to the hot tub and pick one of the four taped off areas around the tub for use during their reservation time
• Belongings can be placed in a tote at the designated area – each of the four areas will have its own tote for patron use
• The lifeguard will let hot tub patrons know when their time is up.  Please exit the hot tub promptly and either go to the locker room or prepare to exit pool area there on deck.
• After all hot tub patrons have left the pool area, lap swimmers – up to four at a time – can then use the hot tub up until the top of the hour.  At the top of the hour all lap swimmers/hot tub users will exit the pools and the pool area.

Due to increased programming at the Helen G. Nassif during the month of April, amendments need to be made to reservation times for both lap swimming and hot tub use.   Changes will go into effect beginning Monday, April 5th, 2021.

Details:

Days of the week: changes affect Monday – Friday; weekend reservation times remain unchanged

Changes Include:

• All lap swim and hot tub reservations (Monday – Friday) will begin at the top of each hour, i.e. the first reservation of each weekday will start at 6:00 AM.
• Hot Tub reservations will go for the first 15 minutes of each lap swim hour, (i.e. 6:00 AM – 6:15 AM and so forth) for each lap swim hour offered during the day.
• Lap swim reservations will still be 45 minutes in length, i.e. 6:00 AM – 6:45 AM and so forth for each lap swim hour offered during the day.

Specifics: 

• Reservations are available to make in the same fashion as they have been with the front desk.
• Swimmers/Hot Tub users will be let into the pool area 5 minutes before the reservation time begins (i.e. 5:55 AM for a 6:00 AM reservation time and so forth) for every lap swim hour offered during the day.
• The first fifteen minutes of each lap hour are for reserved use only of the hot tub. Lap swimmers are to refrain from using the hot tub during the reserved 15 minute block of time. During the last 30 minutes of the lap hour, any lap swimmer may use the hot tub, providing the maximum occupancy remains at 4 people.

These changes are being made to allow for the expansion of other aquatic program offerings, including swimming lessons and swim team operations. Weekend reservation times DO NOT CHANGE.
