How Play Swim works

Open Swim
Swimming and diving areas are open to all ages. Non-Swimmers and children under 48 inches in height must have a parent or guardian, age 16 or older, in the water within arms reach at all times.

Family Swim
Recreational swim for parents and children. Enjoy the shallow water, playmats, water basketball, and more. Children under 16 years old must be accompanied in the water by a parent or guardian. Non-swimmers and children under 48” in height must have a parent or guardian in the water within arms reach at all times. Single adults and tots two years and younger are welcome.

Adult/Preschool Swim
Enjoy the pool with a younger crowd. Children must be 5 years and under. Parent or guardian must accompany children in the water. Life jackets are available for non-swimmers.

  • For your safety, please follow all posted pool rules and directions from the aquatic staff. 
  • Children under 48” tall and non-swimmers (including children in lifejackets), must have a parent or guardian, age 16 or older, in the water within arms reach at all times.
