• Children 6 & over must be at least 48 inches tall and pass the swim test to be admitted in the water without an adult.
• Children 12 & over may be at the Pool without adult supervision if they have passed a swim test and a parent’s cell phone # is with the front desk attendant.
• If a child is unable to touch the bottom of the shallow end while standing and cannot pass the swim test, they must wear a Coast Guard-approved life vest in the pool at all times.
• Only children who have passed the swim test will be allowed in the deep end.
• All children under 15 may be asked to perform the swim test at each visit.
• Non-toilet-trained children must wear an approved swim diaper. These are available at the Pool for purchase for $1.
