Once a patron has entered the facility, they are our responsibility, and will be provided with care in the event of an emergency. Lifeguard to patron ratios apply to everyone on the pool deck and restrooms, including spectators and infants, therefore additional lifeguards are required to be present for patrons both in and out of the swimming pools.

We do not allow items that either obstruct the lifeguard's view of the pool or may create safety hazards in and around the pool. (ie: rafts, inner tubes, pool noodles, glass bottles, alcohol, etc.)

Under the Health and Safety Code we are required to follow, patrons must either wear a bathing suit or a change of appropriate clothing that constitutes swim wear. The clothing worn upon entry is not suitable to wear in the water as it creates filtration and pool chemistry issues.

The pool is heated and is kept at around 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
