SWIMMING POOL REGULATIONS

Children under FOUR (4) FEET IN HEIGHT are not allowed in the swimming pool unless they are accompanied by a parent who swims and must remain with the child within the swimming area.  Children less than four feet tall may be tested by the Pool Manager, who will determine the child’s ability and if that child can safely swim without a parent present at the pool.

All patrons who wish to use the deep end of the swimming pool must be tested to do so. The test consists of swimming front crawl two widths of the pool.  The swimmer must use rhythmic breathing.  (The swimmer must place their face in the water and then breathe on the side.)  The passing of the test is at the discretion of the guard on duty.  If there are any questions, see the Manager on duty.

Persons with open sores or rashes that are questionable in nature shall not be permitted to enter the swimming pool.

Running, pushing, dunking or horseplay is not permitted in the pool area.  Any improper conduct, profane language and loitering in the pool area or grounds is prohibited.

Diving is not permitted in the shallow water.  Patrons may dive into the pool at the five feet depth and into the deep end.  When diving into the pool, go STRAIGHT off the edge; do not enter the water on the SIDE.  Never jump over, upon, or near a swimmer in the water.   

Ten-minute rest periods will be observed every hour during the recreational swim.  All swimmers must leave the water immediately at the bell or whistle.  Adults may swim laps during the rest period by obtaining permission with the guard on duty.

Patrons are asked not to visit with the guards while on duty.  This greatly handicaps the guards in the performance of their duties.

Pool Manager may close the pool at any time for safety reasons (thunder, lightning, sanitary conditions, public health issues, etc.)
