facility_hours are the indoor pool: the page says indoor pool hours match the branch hours except the pool closes 15 minutes earlier. Branch hours: Mon-Thu 5 a.m.-9 p.m., Fri 5 a.m.-8 p.m., Sat 7 a.m.-6 p.m., Sun 9 a.m.-6 p.m.
Outdoor pool hours shown are the October 2026 period (includes today): Mon/Wed/Fri closed; Tue/Thu 10 a.m.-2 p.m.; Saturday 11 a.m.-4 p.m. (member-only); Sunday 12-5 p.m. Through September 30 the outdoor hours were wider (Sat 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Sun 11 a.m.-5 p.m.).
The Wednesday lap lane schedule is a one-day snapshot of the pool schedule page (fetched 2026-10-07) and may change daily.
The pool is part of a YMCA, so access is mainly for members; the location page mentions a free 7-day pass for ages 18+.

The Natatorium is part of the SAS Recreation & Fitness Center (RFC) on the Cary, NC campus; access is limited to SAS employees, retirees, spouses/domestic partners and eligible immediate family members ages 18–25, and a safety waiver or medical clearance is required.
The RFC closes early on the last working day before a SAS holiday.
The October 2026 Natatorium schedule lists a Poolside Pumpkin Party on Thursday, Oct. 8, 5:00–7:00 p.m. (family swim; $8 per pumpkin, optional; register by Friday, Oct. 2).
The October 2026 RFC newsletter lists a Pumpkin Pool Party on Thursday, Oct. 8, 5:00–7:00 p.m. at GN; the Natatorium calendar lists the same event as 'POOLSIDE PUMPKIN PARTY' at 5:00–7:00 a.m., which appears to be a typo.
The RFC newsletter is dated October 2026 and the Natatorium schedule is for October; both were fetched on 2026-10-06.
Open year-round; the outdoor pool is heated and cooled for year-round use. Check the website or call before you go.

Pool rules
Tobacco/Drugs/Alcohol: Smoking, smokeless tobacco, illegal drugs, beer, and other alcoholic beverages are prohibited on the premises.
Pool Deck Access: Only active swimmers and certified coaches may access the pool deck. Swim events may have their own deck access protocol which must be approved by TAC management. Non-participants require TAC staff approval and a signed waiver.
Atrium Use & Child Supervision: The Atrium is available for guest use when not reserved for classes, meetings, rentals, or other TAC activities. It is a shared community space and not a playground or recreational area. Children must remain under direct parental supervision at all times. Be respectful of others in the shared space and follow all instructions from TAC staff regarding Atrium availability.
Locker Rooms & Footwear: No bare feet outside locker rooms or pool areas (except during organized classes). Children over age 5 may not use the opposite-sex locker room; unisex restrooms are provided.
Lockers: Lockers are for day use only unless rented monthly or annually in conjunction with an active swim pass, class, or team registration. Unauthorized locks will be removed; items will be held for two weeks before donation. Guests must provide their own locks. TAC is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items from lockers (locked or unlocked).
Personal Belongings: Keep books, bags, coats, and other items in lockers; they are not allowed in activity areas. Guests are responsible for their belongings at all times.
Conduct: Harassment, foul or abusive language, unsportsmanlike behavior, and rude conduct are not tolerated. Misuse, abuse, moving, or removal of TAC property is prohibited. Violators are financially responsible for damages and may lose facility privileges.
Health & Safety: Individuals with infectious or communicable diseases may not use the TAC pools. All wounds must be properly covered before entering the water. Anyone with Band-Aids, blisters, cuts, rashes, stitches, or open wounds is not permitted in the pools.
Animals: Pets are not permitted, except service/support animals clearly identified by vest.
Guests & Access: Guests are permitted only during facility hours and must register and sign a waiver at the front desk before use. Multipurpose rooms are for pre-approved use only.
Phones: A public phone is available in the lobby; all others are reserved for TAC business.
Supervision: A building supervisor is on duty at all times. Direct facility or program questions to the supervisor.
Enforcement: Guests and visitors must follow all TAC rules. Violations may result in suspension or revocation of privileges.
Weather Policy: Triangle Aquatic Center (TAC) staff closely monitor local radar and weather reports for any signs of severe weather. If necessary, pools will be closed and guests asked to exit the water. The facility will remain open, and closed pools will reopen as soon as conditions allow. Because weather can change rapidly, we cannot predict in advance if or when pool closures will occur, or how long they will last. All decisions are made on a case-by-case basis by facility staff with safety in mind.
Sanitary Rules: All swimmers must take a cleansing shower before entering the pools and after using the restroom. Children age 3 and under must wear swim diapers. Regular diapers are not permitted in any TAC pool. All accidents, no matter how minor, must be reported to the lifeguard on duty. Alcoholic beverages, smoking, vaping, and the use of illegal or impairing substances are prohibited throughout the facility. Anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs may not enter the pools or participate in aquatic activities. Glass containers are not permitted anywhere in the facility.
Pool Safety and Conduct Rules: Diving in shallow areas is prohibited. Non-swimmers and children age 5 and under must be accompanied in the water by a parent, guardian, or chaperone at all times (except during classes). Chaperones must be at least 14 years of age. Children age 11 and under must be supervised at all times by a parent, guardian, or chaperone (except during classes). Open swim lanes may not be used for swim instruction. Contact the front desk for rental policies regarding lessons at TAC. Proper swimsuits are required. Swimming in street clothing (such as jeans, T-shirts, or cut-off sweatpants) is not permitted. Playing on steps or ladders is prohibited. Back flips, back jumps, and back dives are not allowed, even in deep water. Only properly fitted, U.S. Coast Guard–approved life vests are allowed and only in shallow water. Wearing a life jacket does not change applicable age or supervision requirements. All play toys must be approved by lifeguard staff before use. TAC-provided equipment is available for patron use at your own risk; please use responsibly. Triangle Aquatic Center is not responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen items anywhere in the facility, including restrooms, locker rooms, and lockers (locked or unlocked, rented or not).
