New Midday workout – Cal Rec Club Card – Spieker Acccess
Swimmers who use the Spieker pool facility for the 11-12p workout are required to present a Cal Rec Club card. To obtain a Cal Rec Club Card, head to the Customer Service Center, provide your name and mention your participation with Cal Aquatic Masters. The Cal Rec Club Card will only allow access to Spieker locker rooms for Mon-Fri midday workouts (i.e. not Sun LCM).
