⚠️Cash or Check Only This Weekend at the Aquatic Center! ⚠️
We are working hard to get this issue resolved, but in the meantime please plan ahead:
💵 Cash is King (small bills are greatly appreciated!) ✍️ Checks are accepted (for the amount only)
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding!
As we welcome the warm weather and busy swim days, here’s an important reminder about our Swim Band Policy to keep all our swimmers safe:
🔴 RED BAND: Children must be within ARM’S REACH of a parent, guardian, or responsible person (16+) also wearing a red band at all times.
🟡🟣 YELLOW & PURPLE BANDS: Children under 10 must be kept in direct sight by a parent, guardian, or responsible person (16+).
🚫 Failure to follow these rules may result in being asked to leave the facility.
These guidelines help prevent accidents and ensure a fun, safe summer for everyone. Thank you for doing your part!
Please note:
Swimming and water safety skills must be maintained. If a lifeguard observes that a swimmer is not demonstrating the required skills for their band level (such as swimming or treading water), the swimmer may be asked to retake the swim test or may have their band level adjusted for safety.
Participation on a swim team does not automatically qualify a child for a purple band. All swimmers must pass the designated swim test to earn a band.

Swim Band Policy
For the safety of all swimmers, children ages 15 and under are required to wear a swim band while in the pool. Swim bands indicate a child’s swim ability level and help ensure they remain in appropriate areas of the pool.
Please note:
Swimming and water safety skills must be maintained. If a lifeguard observes that a swimmer is not demonstrating the required skills for their band level (such as swimming or treading water), the swimmer may be asked to retake the swim test or may have their band level adjusted for safety.
Participation on a swim team does not automatically qualify a child for a green band. All swimmers must pass the designated swim test to earn a band.
