GUEST RULES AND GUEST PASS INFORMATION

1.     All guests must be invited, accompanied, and registered by an active member when they enter the Club facilities.  Guests may not utilize the Club facilities without the member’s presence.  When the member leaves the Club premises, the guest(s) must also leave.  To bring a guest to the pool you must be at least thirteen (13) years of age, and you are responsible for your guest.

2.     Members are responsible for the actions and conduct of their guests at the Club.  Damages to the Club or debts incurred by a guest will be charged to the member.  Members violating guest and/or admission rules are subject to suspension and/or expulsion as set forth in the By-Laws.

3.     The Bowie Days geographical restriction on guests was eliminated in 2005.  However, each guest entry will be recorded at the gate and use of the Club by guests will be monitored so that this new policy is not abused.  After 15 entries in one season by a guest (who resides outside of Bowie), the Pool Manager will notify the Board of Directors who may restrict the guest from future Club visits and offer them a Membership Application.

4.     Guests three years of age or under, and sixty years of age or older, will not be required to purchase a guest pass; however, they must still be accompanied by a member when entering the Club facilities.

5.     Members (both youth and adult) who are gainfully employed as babysitters on a full time basis (8 hours per day, 5 days per week) of non-member children may bring those children to the Club by purchasing the appropriate guest pass for each child (monthly or seasonal only).  Proof of employment as a babysitter may be required.

6.     Member families may purchase a babysitter guest pass for a non-member babysitter employed by them.  The babysitter may bring the member's children to the pool at any time.  The babysitter may not utilize Club facilities without being accompanied by the member's children.

7.     Multi-Day Guest Passes.  Multi-day guest passes provide members a discount when bringing in many guests or the same guests multiple times.  These passes may be purchased at the pool office and are valid for the season purchased and the following season only.

8.     Monthly & Season Passes.  Applications to purchase monthly, seasonal, and babysitter guest passes are available at the office and on the web site.  Applications should be mailed to the BSR Post Office Box or e-mailed to the Membership Chair who will issue the wallet size cards as guest passes.  Users of monthly and seasonal passes MUST be resident in the member’s home for the summer (or portion of the summer).  This rule is waived if the monthly or seasonal guest is a minor and an adult member is babysitting the guest.  Each monthly and seasonal guest must present the card to the front gate attendant when entering with the BSR member.  Guests may not enter without a member age 13 or more.  The cost for Monthly and Season Pass may be increased with approval of the Board of Directors.  Guest passes must be purchased by an Adult member.  Annual guest passes are valid only for the season indicated on the card. 

9.     In the event that a member wishes to purchase guest passes for a non-resident family visiting for the summer, seasonal guest pass fees will not exceed the annual maintenance fee.

10.  Members wishing to bring in more than 10 guests should obtain prior approval of the pool manager.  A Group Reservation form can be downloaded from the web site or at the office.   Any requests for more than 20 guests must be approved by the President of the Board and will be dependent on safety and supervision arrangements.
