PROGRAM INFORMATION

Please remember that as a small community, we all have to share the pool. If you see someone who might not know the unspoken "rules" of the programs, take time to educate one another!

LAP SWIM-

• there is a designated slow lane closest to the slide for swimmers that are going at a slow pace.
• Be sure to get a fellow lap swimmers attention before jumping into the lane
• try to stay aware of the time that the program ends so the lifeguards do have to chase you down when you are in "THE ZONE"
• please be sure to circle swim when there is more than 2 swimmers in a lane!

EXERCISE-

• Did you know that kids can also come to this swim? Kids may come accompanied to this program to learn to swim with their guardian/parent. 1 child to 1 adult in the water at all times! But please note that this is more of a controlled environment. The slide is not on and we ask to limit the big splashes :)
• Be sure to look behind you if you are swimming on your back!

Thank you all for being a part of our pool community.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
