Deep Water Rules & Testing

To ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for all members and guests, the following rules apply to everyone under the age of 12 that would like to use our Dive Tank, Water Slides or Diving Board.

Diving Board & Slide

• All dives are permitted except inward dives.

• Only one person may use the diving board or slide at a time.

• Exit the dive tank on the same side after entering.

• Games in the dive tank are at the discretion of the lifeguard and may be stopped at any time for safety reasons.

​

Deep Water Test (Required for Swimmers Under 12)

Swimmers under age 12 must pass a Deep Water Test to:

• Swim past the lifeguard stand in the main pool

• Enter the dive tank

• Use the diving board or slide

Test Requirements:

• Tread water for 1 minute

• Swim freestyle (face down, breathing to the side) the length of the pool and back without stopping

• Jump off the diving board and swim to the ladder

Testing is conducted when a lifeguard is available. Swimmers who do not pass must wait one day before retesting. Approved swimmers must wear a deep water wristband. Replacement fee: $6.

 

Our shared commitment to these guidelines helps ensure the safety and well-being of our members and staff.
