Drop off and pick up guidelines

If you have a child under 10 years of age, he/she must be supervised during practice. If you need to leave the pool during practice, please ask another adult to supervise your child, and make sure your child knows who he/she should ask for help.

 

The Dewing Park Pool rules state that when a lifeguard is on duty, every child under 10 must be supervised by someone who is 16 years or older. During swim team practice times only, guidelines for supervision are different. During swim team practice, a person aged 12 or older can supervise those under 10 at the pool. Of course, every 12 year old is different, so please use your best judgment.

 

What this means in practice:

If someone is designated as a supervisor, that person cannot be in the pool and supervising at the same time. Thus, during the summer, a younger swimmer cannot be up at the pool while an older sibling/babysitter is practicing.

 

Pool Health and Safety Guidelines apply to everyone. Please see the Safty Guidelines page and review them with your children and babysitters. Please keep your eyes on your children in and out of the water!
