Outdoor Pool Rules
Facility
No guests will be allowed entry to the Outdoor Pool. Please enter and exit through the pool gates.
Bathrooms and showers are open. Only swim diapers are permitted in the pool.
Coolers and outside food are allowed. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited. Smoking and glass containers are not permitted.
Swim
All swimmers 16 and under must be swim tested and banded. Two tests are available – a shallow water test and a deep water test. Anyone who cannot pass either swim test will be required to wear a flotation device. Those who do not wish to take the swim test can enter the pool with a floatation device.
Children 6 and under must be accompanied in the water by an adult even after successful completion of the shallow or deep water test.
Please see an off-duty lifeguard if your child wants to take the swim test.
Flotation
Please bring Coast Guard-approved flotation for all non-swimmers or those whose do not wish to take the swim test.
These can include lifejackets and puddle jumpers. Nothing inflatable will be permitted for use as a flotation device.
A very limited number of flotation devices will be available. Flotation devices are not a substitute for adequate supervision.
Slides and Toys
We will have two slides available this summer for pool pass holders. Children who wish to ride the slides must have a green swim band and be at least 44 inches tall to ride the blue slide, and 51 inches tall to ride the red slide.
There will be no mermaid tails, water guns, or blow up toys permitted at the Outdoor Pool.
