Answer = only if your family fits within the PHSC Definition (as defined in the PHSC By-Laws): A FAMILY MEMBERSHIP means access to our pool and facilities, when we are open, to a parent or guardian (no more than two adults) along with legally dependent children under age 26 who are living on a permanent basis at the same address. All others are considered guests and subject to rules/fees.
- Can I have a babysitter come in the place of a parent? Yes, but they must be at least 14 years old, registered and approved as a Caretaker on your account, and costs $50 plus tax (only one caretaker at the club at one time). This is to be certain the pool knows you have given custody of your children to someone who may not be of adult age. See additional information regarding babysiters (Caretakers) in our Rules Tab.

That fee includes the guest fees for 3 guests. Reservations are on a first come, first serve basis. The member is responsible for all clean up. Any expenses incurred by the member or guests are the member's responsibility. Additional guests are $10.00 per person. The fees and guest list are due 24 hours before the event date.

- Do you have a snack bar? Yes, we offer a few microwave food items along with a selection of beverage and snack items. It has been our policy to make the snack bar a convenience to our members, so pricing is only set to cover the costs of staff labor and the products sold.
- Will you close for bad weather? Yes, If lightning is sighted we will shut down the pool for at least 20 minutes. If weather conditions at noon are inclement we will not open (send our employees back home) and reassess the situation later in the day, typically 4pm when the next shift of personnel is scheduled to work. If it remains inclement and members do not show up by about 7pm we will close early. If the forecast is inclement for the day we will close for the day. We make an effort to post our status on our website and email to members who provide that information in their registration.
