Band tests and use of swimming areas
All members and guests under the age of 16 must pass a swimming test and receive a band in order to swim in the main pool and diving well without the accompaniment of an adult (the only exception is the roped off shallow 2 ½ – 3 ft. area of the pool). Only the pool manager may evaluate these swimmers.
There are two levels of bands:
1. Entire Pool Access Band (band color will vary by season) – This band allows access to all parts of the pool without the accompaniment of an adult. To receive this band, swimmers must demonstrate proficient swimming ability by swimming 50 meters and tread water for 2 minutes.
2. Main Pool Access Band (band color will vary by season) – This band allows access to all parts of the pool EXCEPT the diving well. To receive this band, swimmers must demonstrate proficient swimming ability by swimming 25 meters and tread water for 2 minutes.
If a swimmer fails the band test, he/she may try again the next day.
Swimmers under 16 who do not pass the band test must be accompanied by an adult or banded member/guest in the pool within arm’s reach. The only exception is the 2 ½ – 3 ft. area where they must be supervised by an adult or babysitter at the edge of the pool at all times. Children who have not passed the band test are not allowed in diving area under any circumstances.
Any child using the wading pool must be supervised by a parent or a babysitter in the immediate wading pool area at all times. Swimmers with bands may NOT utilize the baby pool at any time. Swimmers with bands may NOT utilize the shallow section of the pool unless accompanying younger guest(s); this section is reserved for those unable to use the rest of the pool without an adult.
Children
Children who are not toilet trained must wear swim diapers in the water at all times.
In no event may a child under 10 years old be left unattended in the pool area or be unaccompanied by a responsible member or guest at the Club.
Children ages 10-15 may enter the Club alone after proving their ability to obtain the Entire Pool Access band.*
Babysitters or siblings must be at least 14 years old to enter the Club with anyone under 10 years of age and must prove their ability to obtain the Entire Pool Access band if under 16 years old.*
*Parents, even if not at the pool, always assume responsibility for the child’s behavior at the pool. If children over the age of 10 become behavioral problems, the pool manager may suspend their ability to enter without supervision.
