  4. A profile photo is required for each individual member.

    1. Submit your head shot photo online, this needs to be done for each member (please name the photo with your name.)  Submit your head shot here (this can be a selfie shot from your phone, just needs to be a clear photo showing your face.)

    1. We will be using a barcode scan to enter.  Please make sure you download the UDLilBob App "Delaware Recreation" Apple Store and the Google Play Store.  You will need to have each individual log in to the app. When you open the app, there will be icons and the barcode icon is on the 4th row.  Click the Barcode Icon, the app will prompt you to log in with your user name and password and will generate a barcode.  You will scan this barcode to enter the pool.  This will be for all members including minors.  If you have minors without devices, you can log out and back in for them, or we can look them up by name.  (The barcode is dynamic and cannot be screenshot.) 
    2. The app will also have notifications where we will be able to send push notifications to your devices for weather closures which will hopefully make communication quick for dynamic weather days.
