Safety routines
Sign-in and the deck
Swimmers sign in at the front desk, rinse at the showers and wait on the bench until the instructor calls their level. Walking feet on the deck, every time.
Two pools
The baby pool is warm and shallow, and the youngest levels learn there. The main pool is where the other three levels swim, with a lifeguard on the deck during classes.
Adults at the pools
A parent or guardian stays on site during every class. Lessons are no substitute for adult supervision, in our pools or any other.
Unwell or closed
Please keep a swimmer home with a fever or a stomach bug. We tell families by text when a pool closes, and a missed class is made up in the same term.
