All children ages 8 and younger must be under adult or staff supervision in the facility at all times. Children ages 9 to 12 must have an adult in the facility at all times.

Swimming:
Children five and younger must have an adult member (18+) in the pool with them at all times. Children ages 6 years to 8 years must have an adult member (18+) on the pool deck at all times. Children 9-12 must have an adult in the facility at all times. Children 15 and younger who want to swim in the deep end must first successfully pass the deep end test. Children 9+ who have passed their deep end test are able to participate in lap swim.

If your child (15 years and younger) has not passed the deep end test they are not allowed past the shallow/deep water divide line. If the water they can go in is deeper than the center line of their chest one of the following three options are available to them to safely enjoy the pool. 1) Wear a Coast Guard approved lifejacket. 2) Have an adult caregiver over the age of 18 within arm’s reach. 3) Participate in a swim lesson. An adult caregiver can have up to two non-swimming children with in arms reach, if you have more than two children with you that have not passed the deep end test those children will need to wear a lifejacket when in the water.
