Dependent Access

All children who use Campus Recreation and Wellness facilities, including the outdoor pool, must have an active membership regardless of age. Dependent hours are restricted. During Fall and Spring semesters, children age 15 and under may only use the Student Recreation Center on Fridays after 3:00pm, all day Saturday, and all day Sunday.

In the summer and during the winter holiday break, extra hours will be added for dependents. Refer to our current hours of operation for more information.

Strollers, infant car seats, and baby carriers are only allowed on the outdoor pool deck, and only during swim lessons or dependent hours. These items are not permitted in any other area of the SRC, including the indoor track. 

As defined by the Department of Campus Recreation and Wellness, for the purpose of accessing the Student Recreation Center, a dependent status exists anywhere there is a parent or legal guardian/child relationship. The member may be asked to provide evidence that this relationship exists at the time s/he completes the dependent waiver form. 

The dependent eligibility will terminate when the dependent reaches age 26.  At the age of 26, the dependent must have their own relationship with the university in order to purchase their own membership.

  • Aged up to 3: Only permitted in swimming pools with direct supervision* during dependent hours. Swimming diapers are required. Children may not be in a stroller, car seat, or baby carrier in other areas of the SRC. 
  • Ages 3-15: Permitted to use the track, swimming pools, multi-purpose courts, indoor soccer court, and racquetball courts with direct supervision* during dependent hours.
  • Ages 6-15: Permitted to use the climbing wall with direct supervision* during dependent hours. Child must wear climbing shoes, be able to climb on their own, and parent must be present. Our climbing shoes start at size 2.
  • Ages 10-15: Permitted to participate in SouthFit classes with direct supervision* during dependent hours. Dependents must actively participate in the class. If taking a Spinning庐 class, child must fit on the bike. 
  • Ages 12-15: Permitted to use cardio machines and hot tub with direct supervision* during dependent hours. 
  • Ages 14-15: Permitted to use weight rooms and functional training areas with direct supervision* during dependent hours.
  • Ages 16+: Permitted in all areas of the Student Recreation Center without parent/guardian supervision. Not restricted to dependent hours. These members should be prepared to present a second form of identification showing their age.
  • All dependents using the Student Recreation Center must have a membership and an ID to access the facility.
  • *Direct supervision is defined as being in the same room no farther than 20 feet apart. Parent/guardian MUST be actively participating in the same activity as the dependent, e.g. playing basketball together, playing racquetball together, swimming together, etc. This does not mean, for example, that the parent can be in a group exercise class while the dependent sits along the wall and watches.
