Digital Pool Passes – CellBadge
CellBadge allows FCCSA to control access to lifeguarded pool facilities and boathouse staff using a real-time database and online registration. CellBadge is an online service that allows lifeguards and boathouse staff to know who has valid access to pools and kayaks. Lifeguards and boathouse staff identify patrons by homeowner Last Name and Street Address. CellBadge lists all family members associated with the home and lets lifeguards and staff know if they have a Valid, Invalid, Registered or Unregistered access status. If you already registered, you do not need to register again.
