  • All children under the age of 13 must take a swim test with a Lifeguard before entering the pool. During the swim test, Lifeguards will ask children to swim one length of the pool without touching the pool wall or bottom, and tread water for 30 seconds while keeping their head above water. If they do not pass the test, the child will be given a life jacket or the parent must be within arm's length of the child the entire time they are in the facility. When the child is in the water the parent must be in the water with the child. Failure to comply will result in an automatic removal from the pool area with no refund issued.
  • It is recommended that patrons bring their own life jackets if able to do so. All life jackets must be coast guard approved.
