Let's review a few of the pool rules so that we can have a safe and happy swim season.

 A swimming proficiency test will be given by an authorized person to all children under 11 years of age. Those children who have passed the test, and who are between 8 and 11 years of age, or have completed second grade in school, may swim unaccompanied by a parent or adult. After successful completion of the test, the Lifeguard will star the child's name in the Rolodex card file in the gate duty office. Those children under 11 years and who have not passed the test must be accompanied by an adult who will remain at the pool. The proficiency swim test will consist of swimming one length of the pool free style, bobbing the width of the pool in the deep end, and treading water for one minute. All of this is to be done consecutively and without rest.

A parent or adult chaperon must be in the wading pool area when a child is using the wading pool. Only non-swimmers under 6 years of age may use the wading pool. Untrained children must wear rubber pants over diapers.

  No running will be allowed around the pool area. No disorderly conduct such as dunking, pushing, or throwing persons into the pool is permitted. Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult.
