Diving Well Rules

Open during all open swim times unless indicated. Not open during Family Float.  One board will be open during evening practices.

    • no one is allowed to “catch” another person jumping off a diving board
    • to jump off the diving board, swimmers must be able to swim the full width of the diving well unassisted, as observed by a lifeguard; no floaties or floatation devices allowed 
    • only one person on the board at a time
    • wait to jump off the board until the preceding swimmer reaches the ladder
    • only one bounce on the board/no double-bouncing
    • no crossing in front of the diver on the other board-swim to the ladder on the same side
    • only dive from the front of the board, no diving/jumping from the side of the board
    • no hanging on the diving board
    • no sitting on the diving board
    • no handstands or cartwheels on the board

Baby Pool Rules

  • children must be 6 years old or younger to use the baby pool
  • children must be supervised by an adult
  • no climbing on the dolphin
  • no excessive splashing
  • no aggressive behavior toward other children
  • no flotation devices
  • only small toys may be used
  • children who are not toilet trained must wear a swim diaper 
    • Swim Diapers: non toilet trained children are required to wear 2 well-fitting, reusable swim diapers or 1 Happy Nappy brand swim diaper. Swim diapers must fit snugly in order to contain a bowel movement, so please do not purchase one for the child to “grow into”. Fecal accidents are costly to our pool and an inconvenience to families since they cause us to shut down the pool. We do not allow disposable diapers (such as Little Swimmers) in our pool. The backs of disposable swim diapers are not tight enough to hold in solids, and the lining inside them can disintegrate which clogs the pool filters.

However, these children must have immediate, close-range, in-water adult supervision limited to shallow water at all times.
  • During Family Float times, use of flotation devices will be permitted at the discretion of lifeguards on duty. All devices must be used appropriately and without harming other patrons.
