Your full cooperation is imperative and will enable use of our facilities to be safer, more sanitary, and pleasant for all.

Non-compliance may result in temporary expulsion from the pool.

Parents, or those responsible for children in the baby pool, must stay within the fenced-in area of the baby pool and supervise children at all times. If parents or those responsible leave the baby pool area, their children must be taken with them. Children in diapers must wear tight-fitting plastic pants. Food and drink are prohibited in the baby pool area.
