FAQs
Q: How do I get guest passes?
A: Guest passes are done electronically. When a patron comes with a guest, they simply say they have up to 2 guests. The check-in registers the guests to the patron and all are checked-in together.
Q: Do adults have to get out during the break?
A: Unfortunately, yes. Virginia has passed laws that restricts the limit by age. It's also break time for the lifeguards.
