SWIM TEST

Because of the large number of young children who use the pool, we are initiating a SVC SWIM TEST system for children under the age of eight. 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 accompanied by a parent or guardian.

To pass the SWIM TEST, a child must be able to:

• Swim 25 yards of the pool using crawl stroke and rhythmic breathing
• Tread water for a minute
• Do 10 bobs in deep water
• Float on their front and back

You may request a SWIM TEST at any time from the Assistant Manager, Pool Supervisor or any of the Head Guards.
