SMU Policies
SMU Locker Room Policy
PAMS members have access and are able to use the indoor locker rooms during our morning and noon practice times. Swims during the evening hours, will not have access to the indoor locker rooms. The changing rooms next to the outdoor pool are open and available for all Pegasus practice sessions.
SMU Entrance/Exit Policy
1. SMU Enter and exit using the Katy Trail gate. This is the gate at the southeast corner of the pool. Once practice begins, the gate will no longer be open. If you're late for practice, expect to wait a few minutes while the coach is coaching until he or she can make it back to reopen the gate.
2. Understanding and following rule 1 will help you decide where to park. Hint: not by the gate we no longer use, unless the long walk around is what you are looking for.
3. Enter and exit the indoor pool only through the hallway separating the two pools. Access the hallway from the outdoor pool locker rooms. Please make sure you leave the building the same way you entered. One point of entry and exit.
4. Doors behind the diving well are not to be used except in an emergency. See rule number three (3).
5. The above policies apply to the Pegasus Aquatic Masters' scheduled swim times. Water Polo, age group swimming and diving have different access requirements. The safety of those of us using the facility is the priority and reason for the strict policy
The goal is to control access to the building, keep everyone safe and your valuables secure.
SMU Outdoor Pool Weather Policy
Pegasus Masters will not swim outdoors during thunder and lightning storms, tornado watches and warnings. Morning and noon practices will move indoors when outside temperature including wind chill is 40 degrees Fahrenheit or cooler. Evening practices are always outside unless there is lightning.
Unless notified differently, we will move practice changes caused by weather to the indoor pool.
When lightning is detected within a 10-mile radius, state law and SMU campus policy require that the pool be cleared and the pool deck evacuated for 30 minutes from the last detected presence of lightning. When lightning is detected we will move indoors.
The final decision regarding swim location and pool clearance lies with the coach on the pool deck.
