SWIM SAFETY
LIFEGUARD AUTHORITY
BREAK TIME/ADULT SWIM
SWIM TEST
Swim at your own risk especially when there is no lifeguard present.
Children should always be actively supervised in the pool and out of the pool whether there is a lifeguard present or not.
Members and their guests under 15 years of age MUST pass the deep water swim test annually in order to swim in the deep end of the pool or use the diving board. This test can administered by the lifeguard or pool board member and occurs during "break time/adult swim." Children under 5 are not allowed in the deep end of the pool.
Parents may accompany their children 1:1 who have not yet passed the swim test into the deep end, provided that they use "touch supervision" and are physically touching their child at all times AND the deep end is not too crowded or the diving board is in use.
The lifeguard or pool board member may choose to close the diving board or restrict the use of pool toys. Parents are expected to support the decision and reinforce safe play with their children.
The lifeguard is the ultimate authority at the pool and is responsible for enforcing the pool rules. Repeated inappropriate behavior can result in a request to leave the pool that day, or can be reported to the Pool Board for action.
Members and guests under 15 years of age MUST pass the swim test ANNUALLY in order to swim in the deep end of the pool. The swim test consists of swimming (using a recognized swim stroke, not doggie paddle) without struggleing, from the deep end of the pool to the shallow end, and back without stopping except to turn around. And last, treading water for 1 minute in the deep end.
Every hour, on the hour, all children under 15 years old MUST clear the pool for "break time/adult swim." This break lasts approximately 15 minutes. During this time, refreshments can be purchased from a lifeguard or pool board member if present. Encourage your children to use the restroom and take a break before re-entering the pool.
