Updated May 20, 2020
As of May 20, the RBAC remains closed. We know this is an exceedingly challenging time, for patrons and staff alike. We empathize and assure you that our primary concern remains your health, safety, and well-being. As much as we would like to open our doors and invite you back, we need to remain compliant with Los Angeles County Phased Reopening Plans and the direction of the City of Pasadena Department of Public Health. And while we do not yet have a date to re-open, when that day comes, we know that we will have to open in phases and that programming, and the way that we all access and utilize the Center will be very different than it was when we closed on March 15.
In the meantime, we invite you to join us for RBAC at Home. Please know we will communicate our intentions and plans to re-open as soon as we possibly can.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during these uncertain times.

A specially formatted virtual platform for classes and Center tours is still in the works, so stay tuned! We are looking for opportunities to connect with our community; if you have any recommendations please do not hesitate to email us to share your suggestions.
When will the Center reopen?
We are following the guidelines established by the CDC, the state, and the Pasadena Public Health Department. Under Pasadena’s current guidance, we must remain closed until further notice. We are committed to reopening as soon as it is safe and are permitted to do so by the authorities.
What about dues?
Dues and fees are critical to the ongoing operation of the RBAC. This incredible community has weathered other storms and has been able to do so because of the incredible support from our amazing family. Most importantly, this support from our patrons helps retain the other half of the RBAC family, the staff. It is often the rough times, the ones fraught with uncertainty, in which people remember how they were cared for and treated. We ask that you consider paying your dues while the Center is closed. We will be extending everyone’s pass for as long as we are closed (ie: if you have a monthly membership, and continue to pay 2 months, we will extend your membership 2 additional months). We also understand that the financial future is uncertain for many people. Know that your membership is on hold until we are able to resume normal operating procedures. Click here to let us know if you would like to continue to pay your fees or to click here to make a generous donation.
What about the employees?
During our closure, a limited number of our team has been working alongside contractors to deep clean, disinfect, paint and polish, and prepare well for our exciting programs and classes. We have been following all social distancing mandates and mainly working outside. The majority of our staff who can are working from home. You will notice a great deal of work in the locker rooms, the hallways repainted and the deck being intensively cleaned. All high touch surfaces are disinfected and the entire Center is being deep cleaned. The work on the 3-meter dive tower is progressing. In the meantime, we are keeping the lines of communication open with our staff and monitoring their health and safety on a daily basis. Our Human Resources team is on standby ready to help at a moment’s notice.
What about events in May and going forward?
At this time the RBAC is postponing all events and programs scheduled in May and will look to rescheduling them as soon as it is safe to do so. We want to thank you again for your support, kindness, and generosity during this uncertain time. These are extraordinary times for sure, and as each day unfolds, we are making every attempt to continue to stay connected to you, the RBAC community, while also preparing to greet you when we are able to open the Center. Please keep an eye on our social media for updates and/or login to this website often, as we will add all updates to the homepage.
If you have any questions at all, click here to email us. Thank you for your endless support, please be safe and be kind to yourself and others.
