Open swim

This is an environment for any age to come and swim, or play
games. You may have the use of the balls, noodles, and pool toys.
Fins and kickboards are for lap swimmers and lessons only. An adult
in the water must accompany any child under the age of 6.

Swimmers must be able to pass a swim test to swim in the deep end.  
Any swimmer not passing the swim test must wear either a life jacket
or bubble. Please see the rules list for more information.

Family Swim

This is an open environment for any age, but the child must have an
adult in the water with them to swim. This allows families with
younger children to not have to compete for space with your older
more active swimmers. Any child under the age of 4 must wear
non-disposable swim diapers in the water. The swim test is also
required for this swim time.

Lap Lanes

There are almost always at least two lanes set aside for laps, other
times the pool is being used for classes, swim team practice, or
rentals. Note there are now two types of lap swim times, Adult Laps
for those 16 and over, and Open Laps for both youth and adults. Be
sure to check for the day you are coming to swim as the schedule
varies.
