Welcome to Alameda Swimming Pool Association (ASPA); thank you for your interest in membership.
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. Annual membership includes:
ASPA Membership covers an entire year.
Swimming Lessons - daily swim lessons for children (10 and under) during summer plus fall and spring sessions on select days throughout the week.
Lap Swim Sessions - Daily guarded pre-scheduled lap swim times in the summer and on select days in the spring and fall. Additional lap swimming throughout the year is also included but members must coordinate lifeguard coverage.
Many members obtain their own Red Cross certification and partner with other members to utilize the pool during throughout the entire year.
Family Swim sessions are offered daily in the summer and on the weekends in the spring and fall.
Members can also utilize pools year round during non pre-programmed hours (6 a.m. to 10 p.m.) so long as an American Red Cross shallow water lifeguard guard is on deck.
Many members obtain their own Red Cross certification and partner with other members to utilize the pool during throughout the entire year.
Access to both Franklin and Lincoln pools.
Membership costs $635 + processing fee. 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. Your membership does not automatically renew from year to year, and there are no refunds or payment plans.
*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.
