Child Supervision

Child Supervision

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.
