POOL USAGE GUIDELINES

  1. Only adult lap swimmers are permitted to use the two center lap lanes of the indoor pool and the designated lane of the outdoor pool.  Persons 18 years of age or older will be considered an adult. Other designated lap lanes may be used by anyone swimming laps.
  2. Any child 5 years of age or younger must be accompanied by a parent or childcare provider who must be in the water with them.  Children between 6 and 12 years of age must have a parent or childcare provider in the pool area with them.  Any child using a flotation device must have an adult in the water with them. Childcare providers must be at least 18 years of age.
  3. Only children younger than 5 years old are permitted in the outdoor Kiddie Pool.  An adult must accompany children in the Kiddie Pool.
  4. Appropriate swim suits must be worn in the pool.  No T-shirt or cut-off shorts are permitted.  If you have any questions check with a lifeguard.
  5. No profanity is permitted in the facility.  No person suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be permitted in the facility.
  6. A swim test is required for those desiring to swim or dive in the deep end of the indoor pool.  This test may be required each time for deep end use.  Please see the lifeguard on duty.
  7. All children not potty trained must wear swim diapers.  Tight fitting plastic pants worn over swim diapers are recommended.
  8. For your personal safety, no hyperventilation or extender underwater swimming is allowed.
IMPORTANT: Always follow the lifeguard’s instructions
ONE  long blast of the whistle means CLEAR THE POOL IMMEDIATELY.
TWO  short blasts of the whistle means that the lifeguard is trying to get your attention.
 

 

Your adherence to these guidelines is greatly appreciated.
