Pool Rules
All of the pools have health and safety rules that we ask everyone to
observe and practice. The lifeguards are responsible for enforcing these
rules in order to PREVENT accidents from occurring. We realize that
during low attendance, some of the rules may not seem appropriate.
However, in order to maintain consistency between the staff and pool
users at all of the District pools, the lifeguards are instructed to
enforce the rules at all times. We will do everything possible to make
your day safe and enjoyable.
Please Read the Basic Rules Listed Here for you Knowledge.
