Pool Rules & Safety
- Children ages 12 and younger must be accompanied by an adult.
- Life jackets and puddle jumpers must be U.S. Coast Guard approved.
- Pool noodles, rafts and other inflatables are not permitted, with the exception of approved fabric/mesh baby boats.
- During weather-related closures, guests must return to their vehicles until the warning has been lifted.
All swimmers ages 12 and younger must complete a swim test.
The test includes:
Jump into the pool → tread water for 1 minute → swim 25 meters → exit without using the ladder
Swimmers are evaluated on overall strength, endurance and comfort in the water, not stroke mechanics.
Life jackets and puddle jumpers must be U.S. Coast Guard approved. Pool noodles, rafts and other inflatables are not permitted, except fabric/mesh baby boats.
During weather-related closures, guests must return to their vehicles until the warning has been lifted. Guests may not congregate near the building.
Swim bands help our lifeguards identify where children can safely swim based on height and swimming ability.
