Children, ages 14 and under, will be REQUIRED to swim test to determine swimming ability. A colored wristband, green or red, will be required before entry into the pool. Swimmers who pass the swim test will receive a GREEN BAND and may access
ALL POOL AREAS. Swimmers who do not pass or do not take the swim test receive a RED BAND. Swimmers may retake the swim test once per week.

To pass you must be able to do the following:

1. Enter the pool from the shallow end
2. Swim 25 yards – Freestyle/Front Crawl swim stroke (face down, alternating arm stroke out of the water with a flutter kick, without stopping, no touching the bottom or lane lines, face in or out of water) then climb out of the pool
3. Jump into the deeper area of the pool (feet first) – fully submerge and recover
4. Tread water for 30 seconds without assistance, keeping chin above water

Aquatic staff on duty will determine if a swimmer passes or fails. Aquatic staff also have the ability to end the test at any point they deem continuing would be unsafe.

• ACTIVE ADULT SUPERVISION is required for ages 11 & under in all pool areas.
• ALL RED BAND swimmers must wear a US Coast Guard approved life-jacket unless a parent or guardian is in the water and within arm’s reach of the non-life jacketed child.
• One parent or guardian cannot supervise or be responsible for more than two (2) non-swimmers without a life jacket at one time.

Lightning or Thunder

Upon seeing lightning or hearing thunder, the pool will be cleared. Activities in the pool may be resumed 30 minutes after the last observed incident of lightning or thunder.

Rain and Wind

If the bottom of the pool is not visible to lifeguards, the pool will be closed.

We will do our best to post any unscheduled closings on our Facebook page.
