The parent or guardian must be in the water within arm’s reach of the child. As a parent or guardian, you can swim with two children who are six years of age or under.

Children between the ages of eight and nine must successfully pass our swim test to be able to swim alone. Children in this age range who do not pass the swim test are required to have a parent or guardian in the water within arm’s reach. As a parent or guardian, you can swim with either two children or five children wearing life jackets.

Children 10 years and older are permitted to swim on their own. Swimming with a buddy is strongly recommended.

Swim test

To pass the facility swim test, you must:

• Swim on your front for two widths of the pool successfully with your face in the water
• Swim with a recognizable stroke
• Maintain a regular, comfortable breathing pattern
• Not stop swimming during the entire distance
