2026 Pool Rules
Applicable throughout the pool area. 

 

Parents/Guardians & Facilities Assistants

• Facilities Assistants are NOT lifeguards. They monitor the pool to ensure the rules are followed to ensure the pool is safe and enjoyable for all. Parents/Guardians - or adults accompanying children - are primarily responsible for ensuring that pool rules are followed.
• Before speaking directly to a child in the pool about rule violations, Facilities Assistants will first ask the Parent/Guardian – or adult accompanying the child – to address violations.
• If the request to address violations is not carried out, or if the rule violations continue or escalate, the Facilities Assistant will speak directly to the child. Facilities Assistants have the authority to remove ANY person from the pool or pool area if they repeatedly violate pool rules or if their actions or behaviors are considered dangerous.
• It is expected that Parents/Guardians – or adults accompanying children to the pool – support the Facilities Assistant in addressing rule violations and problem behaviors.

 

 

Not allowed at Any Time

• Alcohol, tobacco, vaping, or any other drugs, or anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• Disposable diapers. There is a limited supply of swim diapers available for emergencies. Contact the Facilities Assistant.
