Participants will need to stay in their assigned group. Groups will combine for some activities, and swimming. But will stay in their own group for a majority of the time. If you are not ok with your children being split into separate groups we will accommodate and place them in the age group where the youngest child should be.
Swimming:
All children MUST take a swim test on their first day in our program. This test is meant to be difficult, and those who pass will not have any pool restrictions. Those who don't pass but can touch the bottom of the leisure pool will be required to stay in the leisure pool (they cannot use the lap lanes or diving boards). Those who don't pass and cannot touch the bottom of the leisure pool will be required to wear a life jacket and stay with a leader.
Kids may bring their own life jacket-must be coast guard certified, or one will be provided for those who need one. 5 years old's are required to wear a life jacket and must be within arms length of a leader at all times.
