Youth Pool Activities
POOL SCHEDULE
Family Swim
Swimmers under 15 years old must be accompanied by an adult in the water. Family swim is the perfect time to come in and play with your family. Children can demonstrate the progress they are making in swim lessons. Also, the parents can reinforce proper swim skills and safety awareness. Family swim is open during swimming lessons. See Instructional Pool Schedule.
The pool is open to all swimmers. Non-swimmers and children under age 8 must be accompanied by an adult and be within arms reach. Children under 15 must pass a swim test to swim unaccompanied in the main pool. Children must pass a slide test before using the pool slide. See Instructional Pool Schedules.
Water Slide
For use by swimmers who can pass the swim test (jump in and swim 30 feet unassisted, demonstrating confidence and breathing skills). Slide is open during scheduled times. See Instructional Pool Schedule for times. To learn how to operate the slide during open swim and family swim times, contact Dana Bierman, Aquatics Director, at 253-534-7860.
