Aquatics

Children and adults alike enjoy the extra personal attention private lessons afford. They are great for fine tuning technique, discovering lap swimming, preparing for a triathlon or just learning to swim.

Have more than one person interested in a “private” setting?  We also offer semi-private lessons for up to 3 swimmers.

Our Stroke Technique camp has helped over a thousand children learn proper technique for the competitive strokes. During the camp we cover a “stroke per day” teaching the correct pull patterns, kicks, recovery positions, breathing and stroke tempo. But it’s not all work – coaches and swimmers alike will have a blast. Participants must be water safe and have had swim instruction through the Swim Team Prep (or equivalent) level.

During the spring, we offer a blended learning class for those desiring their Red Cross Lifeguard Certification. Blended learning combines online studying with an on-site skills session where you will practice and demonstrate competency. Please understand due to the serious nature of this class, there will be no exceptions on either age (you must be 15 years old) or class attendance (none may be missed). Participants will be required to pass a 300 yard swim test (demonstrating a minimum of 100 yards freestyle and 100 yards breast stroke) and a timed retrieval test.

Online Portion

After we have processed your registration, we will email you a link for the online portion. Please plan to complete all online lessons of your training at least two days prior to your on-site skills session. Once you complete the online course, you must print the completion report from the Main Menu page of the online course. You are required to bring your completion report to the on-site skills session in order to verify completion of the online course.

SUMMER

Monday – Sunday  |  10:00 am – 7:00 pm

Designed for all levels of fitness, this is a cardiovascular and muscular conditioning class in the pool. The water offers resistance rather than impact so it’s gentle on your joints. All classes are complimentary.

Monday – Saturday: 9:00 – 10:00 am

When A Lifeguard Is On Duty

1 Month to 5 Years
Parents of children in this age group must provide “touch supervision,” i.e., maintaining an arm’s length distance between you and your child.

6 to 7 Years
Parents must maintain visual supervision from the pool or whirlpool deck.

8 to 14 Years
Children may swim unsupervised but their parent or member guardian must remain on the premises. Children in this age range may be asked to pass a swim test if there is concern about their safety.

When No Lifeguard Is On Duty

1 Month to 5 Years: Touch supervision
6 – 14 Years: Visual supervision from the pool deck

Whirlpool Guidelines

Children are more susceptible to overheating than adults. Some physicians warn against young children being in whirlpools because of their inability to regulate their body temperature. Others suggest children not stay in hot tubs for more than 5 minutes at a time. All agree that toddlers and infants are particularly susceptible to overheating. Children should never go under water or bring toys in the whirlpool.

Locker Room Policy

Children, under the age of 10, must be directly supervised by a parent or guardian in the locker rooms and showers.

Children, under the age of 15, must be directly supervised by a parent or guardian in the whirlpools, saunas and steam rooms.

Inclement Weather

The pool will be cleared when thunder is heard or lightening is seen and remain cleared until 20 minutes after the last sound of thunder or sighting of lightning. For your convenience, the lifeguard will post “pool closed” signs and will alert the Front and Tennis Desks. If it is raining and there is no thunder or lightning, swimmers will be allowed to swim at the discretion of the lifeguards.
