Columbian Swim Club
Mayor Delisfort and the Township Committee are happy to announce the Columbian Swim Club Reopening on July 13th, 2020 to all Union residents!
- Open to Union residents and Knights of Columbus members only!
- Every individual in your family, including children, must be registered to your account and be registered for the selected day.
Cost
- $5 per session for adults
- $3 per session for children aged 5-18
- Children 4 and under will be free (a child discount will apply in your cart)
A maximum of 75 individuals will be permitted in the pool each session. Each day will have a 12-3pm and a 4-7pm session. Families may register for a maximum of three sessions per week, two between Mon-Thur and one between Fri-Sun. If you select two sessions on the same day you must leave the pool area with all of your belongings between 3-4pm during the sanitization break.
Online reservations will be available one week in advance to ensure all residents and members have a fair chance of enjoying the pool. A concession stand will have snacks available for purchase for all guests; the KOC bar and picnic grove are only available for members. Temperature checks for all individuals and proof of residency (or KOC membership) of the head of household will be required to enter.
What if it rains?
If the pool manager closes the pool, we will issue credits that can be used towards a future reservation. Cash or credit card refunds will not be issued. If an individual family decides not to come to the pool due to the forecast but the pool does not close, credits will not be issued.
Should I bring my own chair?
Yes, please do. Common items like chairs and tables will not be provided in the pool area. Stationary umbrellas will be available on a first come, first served basis.
Is food available to purchase?
Yes, the concession stand will be open to all guests. Please note that the Knights bar and picnic grove are open to members only. Food and drink, other than water, is prohibited on the pool deck.
Can I reserve multiple days?
We have a limit of two slots from Mon-Thur and one slot from Fri-Sun. This is to ensure everybody has a fair shot at coming to enjoy the pool.
My niece/grandson/babysitter is staying with me this week can they come?
They may but they must be registered to your family account and be paid for the desired time slot with the rest of your family. Nobody will be permitted to enter at the door if they did not pre-register.
Does my infant need to be registered?
Yes! All individuals, regardless of age, must be registered to your family account and be paid for the desired time slot. Children four and under will be free; children aged 5-18 will be $3.
What is the procedure when we arrive?
The head of household must show proof of residency (or Knights membership). All individuals will be subject to a temperature check and a brief health questionnaire. If an individual in your party does not satisfy the temperature check or health questionnaire, the entire party will not be permitted to entire as a precaution.
Can my teenagers come on their own?
No, all guests 18 and under must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.
In order to register to attend the pool, you will need an account with us in CivicRec. If you have registered with us in the past, use the “forgot password” feature to recover your password rather than creating a new account; duplicate accounts can cause confusion when looking up your reservations. If you do not already have an account, you can create one. Each individual family member must be listed on your account and registered for each session you plan to attend, regardless of age.
After you submit payment, email the receipt to yourself and print a copy if you would like. Keep either copy of the receipt easily accessible when you arrive at the pool for your scheduled reservation.
What is the check-in procedure when we arrive?
The head of household must show proof of residency (or Knights membership). All individuals will be subject to a temperature check and a brief health questionnaire. If an individual in your party does not satisfy the temperature check or health questionnaire, the entire party will not be permitted to entire as a precaution. If an individual needs to leave to return to their car, their hand will be stamped for re-admission.
Will surfaces be sanitized?
Yes, we will have two designated sanitization periods from 3:00-4:00pm and 7:00-8:00pm when there are no guests inside the facility. Some surfaces such as picnic tables may be sanitized more frequently depending on use.
Do I need to wear a face covering?
Yes, per executive order, guests must wear a face covering outside when social distancing is not possible like when they are checking-in, walking to the bathroom or waiting in line at the concession stand. Guests are not required to wear a face covering when they are seated with their family and are socially distanced from others. Guests should not wear a face covering in the water.

Yes, all guests must wear footwear when they are walking around the facility, except for when they are walking to the water. This includes when going into the bathrooms or showers.
