Join Us for the Indoor Swimming Season!
Pool Safety Reminders
- Swim suits (typically nylon or lycra) must be worn by all swimmers for hygiene and safety of all pool visitors. Street wear, especially underwear, isn't suitable for pool use because they can contaminate the pool with dirt and bacteria
- Swim diapers must be worn by all non-toilet-trained users
- Children must be supervised while in the water. Adults must remain within arm’s length of infants and toddlers and keep a watchful eye on children at all times
- Showers are required before entering the water
- Food, drink, gum or tobacco may NOT be brought into the pool
