 Swim Test

Children between the ages of 10 and 14 years may take a swim test in order to gain the privilege of coming to the pool without an adult.  The test consists of entering the pool in the shallow end and swimming across the pool to the deep end.  The child must be able to do this comfortably, without using flotation devices.  He/she must also be able to tread water.  Ask any lifeguard if you would like your child to take the test.  Please remember this is a privilege and may be taken away for inappropriate pool behavior.

 Games, Books and Swim Noodles

 We now have noodles and pool side games available for check-out at the pool desk.  We also have a used paperback bookshelf where you may borrow or trade books.
