Gatewatch Duties

Gatewatch is a long-standing tradition at the Westgate Cabana Club, whereby members volunteer to greet and check in members at the gatewatch desk.  Gatewatch promotes the safety and security of our pool by ensuring that only members and their guests enter the facility. This helps keep our costs low for members each season, otherwise we would need to pay a staff member to perform this work.

• Gatewatch is mandatory and each family must sign up for and complete 3 full shifts throughout the season.
• Each shift is approximately 2-3 hours in length.
• All instructions and materials needed to perform the gatewatch duties are located at the gatewatch desk.
• We ask that you please use your discretion in having children accompany you during your shift. 
• A Gatewatch deposit is required as part of the membership application and is refundable once all shifts have been completed.
• The Gatewatch deposit may be requested using our online form; Deadline to request a refund is October 31st. 

• At the start of your shift, please check in using the online form to record attendance of your shift
• Verify valid membership of members entering the pool by scanning their digital ID and filling out the online form. 
• Greet members and remind them about our parking restrictions
• Ensure guests sign in using an online Guest Check-in form and mark off guest punch cards (members must be present for guests to be admitted).
• Issue popsicles and mark off punch cards as needed
• Help members and guests find answers to their questions or information about the club
• Enforce pool rules as needed
• Assist lifeguard or members as needed
