Hours of Operation & Restrictions

The pool will be open every day rain or shine. Please refer to the official pool schedule for hours of operation. The exception to being open would be due to a thunder/lightning storm. If this situation arises the lifeguards will close the pool and ask everyone to clear the deck as quickly as possible. They will then wait to see if the storm passes and make the call whether to close the pool for the rest of the day. Everyone must be off the pool deck by 8:45 pm Sunday through Thursday, and 9:00 pm Friday and Saturday. (Closing time is subject to change) The pool deck is closed to patrons during the scheduled maintenance hours.

All beginner swimmers must be actively supervised by a parent or guardian and must stay in the shallow end unless they can swim the length of the pool. Parents of non-swimmers must be in the water and within arms reach at all times. All swimmers will be asked to take a lap test to determine deep end privileges. Care providers must be informed of this regulation. Children must be toilet trained or wear disposable diapers/plastic pants with snug fitting legs.

Lap Test

Any swimmer or guest wishing to use the deep end must pass a swim test with a lifeguard. The swimmer must prove they can swim the length of the pool without any struggle. The swimmer must use the front crawl with side breathing. This lap test will only be given during adult swim. Please go to the snack bar and let the lifeguards know you wish to take the test. A swimmer can only take the test once per day.
