Pool Rules:  Swimmers swim entirely at their own risk.

Hey Kids!  Parents, please read this to your children. If you are a kid, keep reading!.....

• The lifeguard is your friend! The lifeguard is at the pool to protect you and keep you safe. So the pool has rules. At the pool, there is…

  • No running!

  • No hanging on the diving boards!

  • No jumping backwards or jumping and spinning. (No “twisties”).

  • One person on the board at a time.

  • No hanging out beneath or below the diving boards. Keep the diving area clear!

  • No being mean! Be nice!!

  • No spitting, slugging, splashing, sassing or swearing! No smooching!

  • No whining! No wrestling! No shoulder rides or chicken fights!

  • No squirt guns, Nerf balls, Frisbees, or footballs! Fins and noodles are ok when it’s not too busy.

  • If you need to use the bathroom –get out of the pool and get to the bathroom! Don’t wait –even if you are having fun!

  • Listen to the lifeguards. They are there to keep you safe.

• Flotation devices: Oversized toys, tubes and rings are simply not allowed. Swimmers that wear life jackets or water wings must stay where they can touch unless accompanied by an adult.

• Babies and Toddlers: All non potty trained persons must wear The Swim Diaper over a disposable diaper. This is in accordance with the Health Department’s recommendation for a safe, healthy pool. Swim suit diapers are available at the pool for $15, or at Kid’s Northwest. We also keep a few loaners if you get in a jam.
