We suggest everyone shower before entering the pool.
Flotation devices and goggles are welcome at the lifeguards'
discretion.
Parent Responsibility
Parents must check their child in with their instructor
and remain in the building for the length of the entire
lesson. To ensure the child’s complete concentration
during their lesson it is recommended that parents observe
class from the observation area. Parents of children
who are new to the program will be permitted on the
deck until the child feels comfortable.
MANDATORY RULES FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN:
1. All children under the age of 5 MUST be accompanied
by an adult into the water and remain there at all times.
2. All children under the age of 10 MUST be accompanied
to the pool by an adult. Parents may sit on the pool
deck or in the observation area and remain in view of
the child at all times. Any child not accompanied by
an adult will sit on the pool deck until the parent
can be located.
3. All children between the ages of 11 and 13 are permitted
to be in the pool area without a parent. Before the
child enters the pool the parent must complete the "check
in" book located near the lifeguard stand. Please
be advised if there are any problems with an unaccompanied
child the parent will be required to come and get them
and sign them out. A child will not be released unless
the parent is present.
These rules are designed for the safety of your children.
There are NO exceptions.
