SIMPLE RULES FOR HEALTHY & SAFE POOLS

SHOWER BEFORE YOU SWIM Have a cleansing shower to help keep our pools clean! Personal grooming products, daily dirt and other contaminants affect water quality, community health and disinfectant use.

PHOTOGRAPHIC DEVICES Respect others when creating memories of your pool experience. Ensure photos contain your group only. No photos in change areas please.

WEAR DECK SHOES OR GO BAREFOOT Anything that ends up on the deck ends up in the pools. Please change into clean deck shoes or walk barefooted for your visit.

FOOD-FREE ZONE Only water is permitted on the pool deck. Don’t forget your reusable, non-glass drinking containers.

STAY HOME IF YOU’RE SICK Sharing is not always caring, especially when it comes to germs! If you are not well or have experienced diarrhea recently, please stay home.

WEAR PROPER ATTIRE Proper bathing attire is required in our pool areas (swim shorts, one or two piece suits, rash guards and lifejackets). Full body suits should be snug fitting and made of a lightweight, lycra fabric.

PREVENT POOL FOULING All swimmers are encouraged to visit the washroom before entering the pools.
