(Children 6 months and under are not allowed in the pool.) Children under 48” must be within arms reach of a parent/guardian while in the water, whether wearing a life jacket or not.

Everyone must wear a swimsuit. Life jackets are not provided but you are welcome to bring your own Coast Guard-approved jacket. Proper swimwear is required in the Aquatic Center at all times.
