Guidelines

Height & Age Requirement for Recreation & Aquatic Center Use

An adult must accompany children in the water who are less than 3.5 feet tall or are non-swimmers, and must remain in the aquatic facility with children under eight years old. This guideline is set not only for children’s safety but for parental assurances as well.

General Aquatic Center Guidelines 

Please keep the following guidelines in mind when using the Recreation Center:

• The only flotation devices allowed in the pool are USCG approved lifejackets and puddlejumpers.  Water wings, tubes, etc. that are not USCG approved are not permitted.  There are lifejackets on the pool deck that are available to use at no charge.

• Mermaid fins are not allowed due to the safety factor of securing the feet together.
• All children under the age of three must wear either a disposable or re-usable swim diaper; both are available at the front desk.
• Proper swimming attire is required.
• Diving board hours may vary according to patron attendance and number of staff.
