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 5 must be accompanied by parent or guardian* within arms reach (in the water) at all times. (This includes if your child would like to swim before or after swim lessons.)
  • Children ages 5 - 7 must have a parent or guardian* on the pool deck.  The parent must maintain active visual contact with their child. (Not reading a book or talking on a cell phone).
  • Children ages 8 - 12 may swim in the presence of a parent or guardian.
  • Children ages 5-17 must past a swim test with the lifeguard before swimming in the deep end of the pool.

* A guardian is defined as a responsible party age 18 or older. Babysitters and siblings under the age of 18 are not acceptable guardians.

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, and bones.
