 POOL RULES AND POLICIES

• Swimmers planning on swimming in the deep end or using the slides will have to pass a swim test at the start of the rental. Please ask the lifeguard on duty for a swim test when you enter the pool. If a swimmer does not pass, they must remain in the shallow end of the pool for the entirety of their pool usage during the rental. Swim tests are conducted by our certified lifeguards and pass or fail determinations are done at their discretion.   
• To use the slides, one must pass the swim test. Slides are one person at a time and ridden on the back facing forward. No other way down the slides is accepted. Those wearing flotation devices must remain in the shallow end. Slides cannot be used with flotation devices.
