**Children under the age of 6 must be supervised by an adult or responsible youth at all times. To help preschool age children stay safe in and around the water, the City requires that all participants comply with the following policy: "For every two preschoolers under the age of 6, there must be one adult or responsible youth (16 years or older) within arm's length, supervising the preschoolers' water play and activity." The best life preserver for your child is YOU! Infants and toddlers participating in water play must wear an appropriate swim diaper.

Inclement Weather Closures
Outdoor pools will clear immediately if thunder or lightning occurs. Outdoor pools will close if the temperature is 14 degrees or less and/or during steady rain conditions. Check Leisure Facilities Service Alerts for updates.
Reminder! Showering is mandatory before entering the pool.
It is a patron’s duty to help maintain better pool water quality and a healthier experience for all by showering before entering the water. Dirt, perspiration, cosmetics, body oils, and traces of urine and fecal matter on the body all affect water quality.
Chlorine is added to the water to fight off this organic matter. When chlorine interacts with organic matter, trichloramines are formed and those trichloramines are what create the chlorine smell in the pool area. A strong smell is an indicator that the chlorine is working hard to remove organic matter from the water. High trichloramine levels are responsible for eye, throat, nose, lung and skin irritation.
A pre-swim shower helps reduce the substances formed in the pool water when the organic matter found on swimmers combines with chlorine. A clean, balanced pool will have very little chlorine smell. Wetting your hair and skin before entering the pool will also protect it and from becoming dry and damaged from the chlorine
