For belongings at UBC Aquatic Centre, hourly lockers are first come, first served in exchange for an accepted government ID; coin lockers are also available. Return the hourly locker key within three hours and empty the locker before closing to avoid extra charges or removal of belongings. Passports are not accepted for the locker-key exchange, even though other visitor ID checks may accept them. UBC advises leaving valuables at home. These storage rules do not establish a bag-size limit or clear-bag requirement.
