Securing Your Valuables Please safeguard your valuables inside the Y . We strongly recommend against lock-ing belongings in your vehicle . If you don’t have a lock to secure items, complimentary kit lockers and key locks are available at Member Services for short-term use . The Y is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged personal property .

Lost and Found The YMCA is not responsible for any lost or stolen articles . Please lock cars and leave valuables in a secure location . All lost and found clothing, towels, etc . will be retained at the pool for one week . After one week, all unclaimed articles will be discarded or donated to Goodwill or other charitable agencies .

Music Boom boxes, radios, etc . may be restricted by pool management if the music is offen-sive to other patrons . If you wish to listen to your own music, we suggest headphones .

pool Accidents Please report all accidents to a member of the lifeguard staff . We maintain a well stocked First-Aid cabinet in the pool office with plenty of Band-Aids . The lifeguards will be happy to assist you with any First Aid .

Small children may have an accident in the pool at times . Please be aware that we maintain acceptable levels of disinfectant (chlorine) in all pools at all times . During an accident of personal nature, please notify the lifeguards . We will close the affected area of the pool for cleaning . Once we have cleaned the pool area, we will spread granular chlorine to kill any additional con-taminate . In the event that an accident has occurred in the small wading pool, we will close that pool (smaller volume of water) during the clean-up procedure .

birthday parties Please see the Aquatic Director about birthday parties that include pool use .

The following information is intended to provide basic guidelines to help you and your family enjoy all that our aquatic centers have to offer . The following pages were generated from frequent questions and inquiries from our members and may not be all-inclusive . Our out-door aquatic facilities vary from center to center, both in size and amenities . Since no two are exactly identical, there may be variances in guidelines to ensure the comfort and safety of all members . The Y continually evaluates all policies to ensure the maximum enjoyable benefit to our members in a safe environment and may amend policies to reflect our commitment to provide the best service possible . We encourage you to contact the Aquatic or Executive Director at your family center for any specific questions or clarification .

GENERAL iNFoRMAtioN

pool toes We will all get them; it’s a fact of life! During the winter months, when we wear shoes, the soles of our feet get soft . This is as much of a problem for the lifeguards as it is for little ones . It takes time for tender feet to “toughen up” to the rough pool deck . During this time, we hand out a lot of Band-Aids . We have plenty in stock, so please check with the pool office or gate house as needed . After several visits to the pool, feet will toughen, and the problem should sub-side . You may also want to limit the time at the pool during the first several visits . The worst case of pool toes is after the first full day of barefoot activity . If you decide to purchase pool shoes for your children, their feet will not have a period to toughen, and you may be putting off the inevitable .

pool Furniture While the pool has hundreds of pieces of pool furniture, there may be times during peak usage where a chair may not be avail-able . On special days, (particularly holidays like July 4), we suggest that you keep a beach chair in your car . If needed, it will be handy . We also ask that you be considerate of others and follow the one-person, one-chair rule . Please refrain from using chairs as towel hangers and bag holders .

babysitting Please see Member Services for information regarding babysitting while you are at the Y .

Lifeguards Qualified lifeguards will be on duty during pool hours . The lifeguards are responsible for enforcing pool rules and may remove any person from the pool for committing an unsafe act or for being involved in activities that may be dangerous . If a patron or guest is asked to leave the pool, his/her card may be withheld for a determined period of suspension . The YMCA Executive Director may revoke any membership for repeated offenses or acts that may directly endanger the lives or comfort of pool patrons . Local law enforcement officers will be called for any person who does not leave the pool when requested by a member of the man-agement staff .

best Safety practices YMCA lifeguards are periodically audited by our management team . Inspections and drills may require clearing of the pool to ensure safety and emergency readiness . We appreciate your patience and understanding while we strive to provide the safest aquatic environment to you and your family .

parent/Guardian Supervision Parents are responsible for the conduct of their children . Children under ten years of age must be accompanied and supervised by an adult (18 years or older) at all times . Non-swimmers must be within arm’s reach of a parent or supervising guardian at all times . (See Age Guidelines on page 33 .) The pool management reserves the right to require parental supervision for any child ten years of age and older who repeatedly violates pool rules . Remember, lifeguards are on duty to prevent and respond to acci-dents . Lifeguards are not babysitters .

inclement Weather The lifeguards/management have the authority to close the pool during inclement weather . All attempts are made to keep the pool open, and “wait out a storm,” however, the pool management may delay opening, or close the pool for the day to ensure the safety of patrons and staff . Standard pro-cedure is to wait twenty minutes after each lightning strike . The lifeguards/management will also clear the pool during thunder under threatening skies .

Adult Swims Lifeguards may call a ten-minute adult swim each hour . At times, adult swims may be more sporadic due to limited pool usage, inclement weather, special days, etc . During adult swims, the pool will be reserved for adults 18 years and older, allowing parents a relaxing period in the pool while giving children a break from the constant activity and exhaustion that pool play may elicit . Children under 42” tall will be allowed in separate wading pools (where available; see wading pool rules) during adult swims; life-guards will permit infants under 18 months old access to the main pool with their par-ents . Infants must be in the parent’s arms at all times .

Discipline The pool management encourages all parents to review the pool rules with their children . While the summer pool can be a place of fun and memories, it can also be extremely dangerous if pool rules are not followed . The lifeguards have been trained to administer discipline fairly . Generally on the first offense (minor), the lifeguards may verbally warn . Repeated offenses may result in “time out” from the pool for a period of 5–15 minutes (depending on offense and age of child) . Repeated infrac-tions of the pool rules may result in a conference between the Aquatic Director and parents and/or suspension or expulsion from the pool . Serious offenses will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis . Vandalism, theft and use of illegal substances on YMCA property may result in immediate expulsion from the pool and criminal prosecution . Please contact the Aquatic Director with questions or concerns regarding discipline at the pool .

pool Guidelines The lifeguards and staff of the Y will enforce the following rules . The Y reserves the right to suspend or expel any individual who violates the pool rules/policies . Rules and policies may change without notice to ensure the safety and comfort of all mem-bers . Rule changes will be posted at the pool entrance .
