Aquatic Center Policies
Children's Admission Policy: We want everyone’s experience
at our facility to be safe and fun. Our shallow end is 3.5 feet deep and within
a short distance deepens to 5 feet. To ensure a safe aquatic experience for
all, we require that children unaccompanied by an adult (in the water) must be
at least eight years of age and four feet in height (or able to pass
our deep water swim test). Children requiring in-water adult
accompaniment must be within arm's reach of said adult. For your child’s
safety, we request that the responsible adult remain in water that is a maximum
of chest-deep.
Deep Water Test: Our deep water test ensures the
safety of all individuals wishing to enter deep water. Our
test requires that the child or individual swim 25 yards (unassisted)
with confidence and with good forward progression, on the stomach (arm and leg
action being swimmer’s choice). Safety is important to us. If you have
special circumstances, do not hesitate to contact Aquatic Coordinator Tara
Franks at 503-538-4813.
Swim Aide Policy: The aquatic center management recognizes
the fun of being able to float or swim independent of adult assistance.
Swim aides such as arm floats, life jackets, swim rings, etc. are permitted in
the pool at the lifeguard’s discretion. Safety is our biggest concern.
Children with floatation devices are required to remain in shallow water unless
they are able to pass the deep water test without floatation. A child who
is a non-swimmer, regardless of floatation assistance, is required to have an
adult in the water within arm's length at all times.
