Stay Home When You Are Sick

Children who are sick or who's parents are sick should remain at home for the safety of other children, parents, and staff.

Vomit

Please refrain from feeding children before Learn-to-Swim lessons or open swim, unless they are fed at least one hour before swimming. At least one hour will allow ample time for digestion and should eliminate most cases of vomit in the pool.

Feces

This is reminder to take your child to the restroom before Learn-to-Swim class or open swim. Swim diapers are required for all children who are not toilet trained.

Diarrhea

Please do not allow children with active diarrhea or who are recovering from diarrhea to go into the pool. Recreational Water Illnesses (RWI) may occur when individuals are exposed to water contaminated with fecal matter.

Pool Closures

The pool must be closed for obvious health reasons when vomit, fecal, or other health contamination occurs.

Chlorine and PH

Levels are checked four to six times daily with random checks by the Health Department. Chlorine level are kept between .5 and 1.5 with pH held between 7.2 and 7.8. Eye burn can occur through irritation of the eyes due to rinsing off of the external eye fluid. Use of goggles is recommended for levels four and higher due to extended eye contact with pool water. Use of goggles is not recommended for children in levels three and below.

Overexposure to the Sun

All patrons should use sunscreen. If t-shirts are worn, they should be close fitting to avoid restriction of movement.

Dry Skin

To prevent, shower off after class and apply lotion.

Ear Infections

Swimmer's ear which is an infection of the ear canal from resulting moisture being trapped may result from extended use. Commercial preparations may help to dry the ear out. See a physician for treatment of pain or discharge from the ear.

Skin Infections

Any students with open wounds, lesions, contagious rashes, etc. will not be allowed to swim, but are encouraged to sit at the pool side to listen, watch, and learn.
