Pool rules update

Please notice the large signs detailing pool rules which our lifeguards and swim instructors are now enforcing. Here is a sampling of the rules which are being newly enforced:

Children under the age of 6 must be accompanied by an adult (in the water) within arms' reach. If the child has passed the swim test, the parent may stay on the deck.
All swimmers ages 14 and under must pass the swim test before swimming past the 5 ft. marker.
Children ages 8-14 must have a parent on the pool deck. If the child has passed the swim test, the parent may leave the pool area.

Swimming & Exercise Programs

WATER FITNESS CLASSES

Did you know that a 30 minute walk in the water is equivalent to a two hour walk on land? Water resistance offers an excellent opportunity for muscle toning and body sculpting. Water also cools the body during exercise which reduces stress on the heart and reduces the risk of injury by lessening the impact on weight-bearing joints, muscles, and bones.
