Swim Guidelines and Information

• All swimmers must complete a YMCA Minor Waiver Form before they can swim.
• All swimmers under the age of 13 who want to swim outside of the ramp area (0 ft to 3½ ft) must take and pass the YMCA swim test. Click here for information about the YMCA Swim Test.
  • 25-yard forward-facing swim 
  • Deep water tread (30 seconds for Yellow Band; 1 minute for Green Band) 
  • More info will be given by on-duty lifeguards
  • All others must pass a walk test in the ramp area. Those who do not pass the walk test must correctly wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket.
  • If you need help, please ask the lifeguard who is not on the lifeguard stand. 
• Swim time is over at the scheduled time (even if your group is late). 
• After appropriate warnings have been given to those not following the rules of the pool, lifeguards are instructed to sit previously warned children out for a time they feel is necessary.
