I'm a nudist. Will I be welcome at the club?
Naturally, nudity is permitted in all wet areas. However, a towel or sportswear is to be worn in all public areas.
If I am visiting from out of town can I rent a room for more than the regular time limit? Can I pay for a 24-hour block of time or several rental time blocks at once?
We cannot accept payment in advance for rooms. When you rent a room your rental is good from the time of issue until you have reached the time limit of 8 hours or until you leave prior to the 8-hour limit. You may rent the room for an additional 8 hours. Overtime charges will apply if you stay beyond the paid 8-hour limit and will be charged to your account.

Sleeping is permitted in private rooms only. No sleeping is permitted in public areas as a courtesy to other members.
If I leave the club and return before my room/locker rental expires is the rental still good?
No. However, you may leave to smoke or feed the parking meter.
What is the difference between a locker and a room?
A room allows you to have a private space to yourself, whereas a locker is in a public space.
Will the club be busy on the day I plan to visit?
It is almost impossible for us to predict member attendance since it relies upon factors that are beyond our control. The best people to ask this question are the member service representatives who work the shifts that cover the time you plan to visit.
Can I share the cost of a room with a friend?
No. Each member must purchase either a room or locker rental upon each visit to the club.
