SWIM TEST
Because of the large number of young children who use the pool, all children under the age of 8 must pass a SWIM TEST. Children who pass this test may go everywhere in the pool, including the diving board (with parent awareness & approval.) Children who do not pass this test will NOT be allowed in water deeper than the 3-foot area of the pool (the shallow end) or the wading pool unless within arm’s reach of a parent or guardian.
To pass the SWIM TEST, a child must be able to:
- Swim 25 yards of the pool AND perform one of the following:
- Tread water for one minute
- 10 bobs in deep water
- Float on their front and back for one minute
The lifeguards may at any time, depending on availability, give a swim test.
