ONE RULE A WEEK

Did you know there are rules regarding the diving well?

  • Only one person on the diving board ladder or diving board at one time.
  • Do not dive until the previous diver has reached the ladder or cleared the diving area.
  • Dive only straight out from the board. (Diving or jumping toward the sides of the pool is prohibited). Horseplay or excessive bouncing on the diving boards is prohibited.
  • No general swimming in the diving board area except when approved by lifeguards.
  • Swimmers unable to pass a swim test consisting of competently swimming a minimum of one full length of the pool without stopping and treading water continuously for at least one minute may not use the diving board.
  • No diving with goggles, flotation devices, or onto flotation devices.

All rules are designed to keep everyone safe! Lifeguards are on duty to ensure the safety of all. They have a hard job and a lot of responsibility to keep you and your kids safe. They have the authority to stop any behavior they deem unsafe. Please respect their authority and thank them for all they do to keep our pool safe and super cool!
