Updates to our Swim Test Policy Effective July 3

Due to safety concerns and Red Cross requirements, we are going to change the swim test requirement for kids 6 and under. The current policy for kids 6 and under is they need a red wristband and to be within arm's reach of a parent unless they can swim across the entire pool without assistance. If they are able to accomplish that task, lifeguards remove the wristband and document the kid's name and relay it to the front desk. The child is then allow to swim alone but with a parent or guardian present in the pool. 

It has come to our attention that there have been safety concerns regarding the above test. Although a child may be able to swim the length of the pool, they are not comfortable enough to float/tread water in the deep end when the current of the slide is on. Therefore, we are going to align closely with the Red Cross and use the water competency sequence to evaluate whether the child can be in the water on their own.

The new swim test will be:

•  Jumping in submerging fully
• Returning to the surface, and floating / treading water for 1 minute
• Turn around in a full circle and find the exit point
• Swim 25 yards to the exit point, and exit the pool without a ladder or assistance. 

If the child passes, we will remove the red wristband and document with the front desk.
