Guest Policy
In order to promote the best facility to our members, we offer limited use of the facility by guests.
• YMCA Facility Members may bring one guest per membership (one individual or one family) at a time to utilize the YMCA facility. Guests are limited to 3 trial visits per calendar year.
• Guests are required to sign a waiver of liability and show a photo ID at the time of facility usage.
• Guests under the age of 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present to sign the waiver of liability. If a parent or guardian is not present, the under age guest must be accompanied by an adult YMCA Member (age 18 or over) who will assume liability by signing for the parent.
• Members may bring one guest per membership to the outdoor pool (one individual or one family). Guests fees are $5 per visit and can be paid at the Outdoor Pool. Each guest is limited to 3 total visits.
Out of Town Guests - If a YMCA facility member has a guest from out-of-town, the guest may visit the YMCA with the member for up to 7 days per calendar year. An “out-of-town guest” is defined as a visitor not living within the service area of the YMCA of Greater Houston.
AWAY Members - Always Welcome At YMCAs or the AWAY program is one that gives YMCA members from outside of the YMCA of Greater Houston service area access to the Cypress Creek Family YMCA facilities when they are away from their home. AWAY Members are allowed up to 4 weeks (30 days within a calendar year) without being charged a guest fee. Once their 30 days are over, they may be asked to temporarily join the Cypress Creek Family YMCA.
