Welcome to Alameda Swimming Pool Association (ASPA); thank you for your interest in membership.
ASPA is a nonprofit organization. Maintenance of the premises, teaching and lifeguarding are provided by voluntary efforts of the members. Instructional programs, cleaning and maintenance have priority over use of the pools. Membership swimming depends not only on the availability of the pools but also on the ability to secure lifeguards. Occasionally, availability may be interfered with due to assignment of the pools for use by other organized groups or needed repairs.
Membership: Members must be residents of Alameda. Membership entitles all household members residing at the address listed in Captyn or on their application to use the pool facilities as explained in the Member Guide. Membership cannot be shared or split between two or more households.
ASPA Membership runs from April 1 to March 31 each year. Swimming programs and Family Swim are offered from mid-April through the end of October. Membership cost of $635 + processing fee includes access to both pools during open swim times and the option to become a keyholder (requires American Red Cross shallow water lifeguard certification), which provides off hours access to the pools during normal pool hours, 6 A.M. to 10 P.M. ASPA requires all households to complete a minimum of 2 volunteer shifts per year by an adult, with a $100 fee for each missed shift or no show.
Households with no keyholders: An adult member must complete 2 volunteer shifts.
Households with one keyholder: 2 shifts are required.
Households with two keyholders: 4 shifts are required.
NOTE: The membership cost is the same, whether your household is a keyholder or non-keyholder/base membership or you're a lap swimmer. All households are required to have an account in Captyn -- if you don't create a Captyn account, one will be created for you. If you're a renewing member, you already have a Captyn account. Please do not create another account! You can do a password reset if you can't remember how to access your account.
