Family Swim offers an opportunity for parents or guardians (aged 14 and older) to enjoy quality time with their children in a safe and relaxed atmosphere. We encourage caregivers and their young children to take advantage of this quieter swim session. To maintain a safe and enjoyable environment, the supervision ratio for children ages 9 and under, who do not pass the facility swim test (swim tests are available to ages 6-9), is one parent/guardian per two children, or one parent/guardian per six children if they are wearing lifejackets.
