Why the change? It’s that time of year — many of our awesome guards are heading back to college or gearing up for fall sports. Our full-time staff is stepping in where we can, but some days we’re down to just one or two guards.
To keep everyone safe, we’re adjusting hours and may have limited pool access or occasional last-minute changes. We’ll continue to update you as things shift.
As we welcome the warm weather and busy swim days, here’s an important reminder about our Swim Band Policy to keep all our young swimmers safe:
🔴 RED BAND: Children must be within ARM’S REACH of a parent, guardian, or responsible person (16+) 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.
June 21st; 11AM- 1PM
$30 per participant. $10 off online registration until June 13th.
