General Information The following information is intended to provide basic guidelines to help you and your family enjoy all that our aquatic centers have to offer. The next two pages were generated from frequent questions and inquiries from our members and may not be all inclusive. Our outdoor aquatic facilities vary from center to center, both in size and amenities. Since no two are exactly identical, there may be variances in guidelines to ensure the comfort and safety of all members. The Y continually evaluates all policies to ensure the maximum enjoyable benefit to our members in a safe environment and may amend policies to reflect our commitment to provide the best service possible. We encourage you to contact the Aquatic or Executive Director at your family center for any specific questions or clarification.

Age Guidelines Children must be at least 13 years old to use the YMCA’s pools without a parent present in the building. Children ages 10 – 12 (who pass the swim test) may use the pool if parent/guardian is physically on YMCA premises. A parent/guardian must be present at the pool and directly supervising his/ her children ages 0 – 9. Nonswimmers must be within arm’s each of a parent or supervising guardian at all times.

Children who are not identified with a green swim necklace will be considered nonswimmers. Nonswimmers are not permitted in water above their armpits unless within arm’s reach of parent or guardian and are not permitted to use deep water recreational elements (i.e. large water slides, diving boards, etc.), but may use shallow recreational elements (kiddie slide, splash pad, etc.).

Swim Test

Lifeguards will consider all children under the age of 13 to be nonswimmers unless they are wearing the YMCA-issued green swim necklace.

• Comfortably swim one length of the swimming pool (25 yards) without assistance.

Guest Policy

• Pausing is allowed for the swimmer to rotate and breathe. • Any stroke or combination of strokes are permissible, however, the swimmer must remain on top of the water (underwater swim not acceptable) and have some level of proficiency of the swim stroke. • Tread water for 30 seconds. • Exit the swimming pool either by steps, ladder or side. • YMCA of South Hampton Roads Pool Rules are reviewed and a copy of the rules will be provided to the child. Children who successfully pass the YMCA swim test: • Will be issued a GREEN swim necklace. They are required to wear the necklace if they wish to enter water above their armpits or deep water recreational elements (large slides, diving boards, etc.). • If between the ages 10–12, they will be permitted to use aquatic facilities without the direct supervision of a parent/guardian (who must remain on YMCA premises).

In-Town Guests: • One complimentary visit per year • Second visit $5 per person • Third visit $10 per person (no more than 3 visits per year) Out-of-Town Guests: • Must be accompanied by a member • A member may bring a maximum of five guests per visit • Guests may visit up to 14 days per calendar year • $5 guest fee per person, per visit • Must live 100 miles outside of our service area and not be a current YMCA member (see AWAY Program) Centers can restrict guest usage, hours of usage and area of usage with or without notice to ensure the safety and comfort of members. We highly encourage members to contact the Y prior to visiting with a guest to inquire about any guest restrictions due to demands on the facility.

Lost and Found The YMCA is not responsible for any lost or stolen articles. Please lock cars and leave valuables in a secure location. All lost and found clothing, towels, etc. will be retained at the pool for one week. After one week, all unclaimed articles will be discarded or donated to Goodwill or other charitable agencies.

Smoking/Tobacco The Y is a tobacco-free zone. Smoking, including the use of electronic cigarettes, is prohibited on YMCA property at all times.

Music Boom boxes, radios, etc. may be restricted by pool management if the music is offensive to other patrons. If you wish to listen to your own music, we suggest headphones.

Pool Accidents Please report all accidents to a member of the lifeguard staff. We maintain a well stocked First-Aid cabinet in the pool office with plenty of Band-Aids. The lifeguards will be happy to assist you with any First Aid. Small children may have an accident in the pool at times. Please be aware that we maintain acceptable levels of disinfectant (chlorine) in all pools at all times. During an accident of personal nature, please notify the lifeguards. We will close the affected area of the pool for cleaning. Once we have cleaned the pool area, we will spread granular chlorine to kill any additional contaminate. In the event that an accident has occurred in the small wading pool, we will close that pool (smaller volume of water) during the clean-up procedure.

Birthday Parties Please see Aquatic Director about birthday parties that include pool use.

• Will have access to the diving boards, water slides and other areas of the swimming pool. 33

Pool Toes

Children

Discipline

We will all get them; it’s a fact of life! During the winter months, when we wear shoes, the soles of feet get soft. This is as much of a problem for the lifeguards as it is for the little ones. It takes time for tender feet to “toughen up” to the rough pool deck. During this time, we hand out a lot of BandAids. We have plenty in stock, so please check with the pool office or gate house as needed. After several visits to the pool, feet will toughen, and the problem should subside. You may also want to limit the time at the pool during the first several visits. The worst case of pool toes is after the first full day of barefoot activity. If you decide to purchase pool shoes for your children, their feet will not have a period to toughen, and you may be putting off the inevitable.

Parents are responsible for the conduct of their children. Children under ten years of age must be accompanied and supervised by an adult (18 years or older) at all times. The pool management reserves the right to require parental supervision for any child ten years of age and older who repeatedly violates pool rules. Remember, lifeguards are on duty to prevent and respond to accidents. Lifeguards are not babysitters. The lifeguards/management have the authority to close the pool during inclement weather. All attempts are made to keep the pool open, and “wait out a storm,” however, the pool management may delay opening, or close the pool for the day to ensure the safety of patrons and staff. Standard procedure is to wait twenty minutes after each lightning strike. The lifeguards/management will also clear the pool during thunder under threatening skies.

The pool management encourages all parents to review the pool rules with their children. While the summer pool can be a place of fun and memories, it can also be extremely dangerous if pool rules are not followed. The lifeguards have been trained to administer discipline fairly. Generally on the first offense (minor), the lifeguards may verbally warn. Repeated offenses may result in “time out” from the pool for a period of 5–15 minutes (depending on offense and age of child). Repeated infractions of the pool rules may result in a conference between the Aquatic Director and parents and/or suspension or expulsion from the pool. Serious offenses will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Vandalism, theft, use of illegal substances on YMCA property may result in immediate expulsion from the pool and criminal prosecution. Please contact the Aquatic Director with questions or concerns regarding discipline at the pool.

Adult Swims

Pool Guidelines

Pool Furniture While the pool has hundreds of pieces of pool furniture, there may be times during peak usage where a chair may not be available. On special days, (particularly holidays like July 4), we suggest that you keep a beach chair in your car. If needed, it will be handy. We also ask that you be considerate of others and follow the one-person, onechair rule. Please refrain from using chairs as towel hangers and bag holders.

Babysitting Please see Member Services for information regarding babysitting while you are at the Y.

Lifeguards Qualified lifeguards will be on duty during pool hours. The lifeguards are responsible for enforcing pool rules and may remove any person from the pool for committing an unsafe act or for being involved in activities that may be dangerous. If a patron or guest is asked to leave the pool, his/her card may be withheld for a determined period of suspension. The YMCA Executive Director may revoke any membership for repeated offenses or acts that may directly endanger the lives or comfort of pool patrons. Local law enforcement officers will be called for any person who does not leave the pool when requested by a member of the management staff.

Inclement Weather

Lifeguards may call a ten-minute adult swim each hour. At times, adult swims may be more sporadic due to limited pool usage, inclement weather, special days, etc. During adult swims, the pool will be reserved for adults 18 years and older, allowing parents a relaxing period in the pool while giving children a break from the constant activity and exhaustion that pool play may elicit. Children under 42” tall will be allowed in separate wading pools (where available; see wading pool rules) during adult swims; lifeguards will permit infants under 18 months old access to the main pool with their parents. Infants must be in the parent’s arms at all times.

The lifeguards and staff of the Y will enforce the following rules. The Y reserves the right to suspend or expel any individual who violates the pool rules/policies. Rules and policies may change without notice to ensure the safety and comfort of all members. Rule changes will be posted at the pool entrance. • YMCA swimming pools are only to be used when a lifeguard is on duty. • Please shower before entering the swimming pool. • Persons with open cuts, sores or blisters are not permitted in the swimming pool. • Children who are not potty-trained must wear a swim diaper or plastic pants (disposable diapers are not permitted). • Please use appropriate changing facilities (on-deck changing of any age is prohibited). • A parent/guardian must be supervising his/her child (9 years and younger) at all times. Non-swimmers must be within arm’s reach of a parent or supervising guardian at all times. (continued on next page)

General Information • Children ages 10–12 may use the pool only if a responsible adult is on the Y’s premises and the child has passed the YMCA of South Hampton Roads Swim Test. Please refer to the member guide for all age guidelines and definitions. • Swimmers must wear appropriate swim wear (no jeans or cut-offs; swimsuits only). The Y asks all members to remember the family environment and choose the style of your swimsuit accordingly. • Children wearing Coast Guard approved flotation devices and nonswimmers must be within arm’s reach of a parent. Water wings (arm floaties) are not permitted. The aquatic director may make exceptions based on special needs of the swimmer and inspection of the device. • Glass or metal objects are not permitted in the pool area and any food consumed must be at least 10’ from the edge of the swimming pool. Chewing gum, tobacco products and alcohol are not permitted in the Y’s aquatic environments. • Feet-first entries only. No diving. Flips, spins or back dives are not permitted from the side of the pool. Diving is permitted in swimming pools with a minimum of 9’ of water during posted times. • Running, horse playing, pushing, carrying people on shoulders or dunking is prohibited in the swimming pool or deck area. • Hanging on lane lines, safety ropes and basketball hoops is not permitted. • Prolonged underwater swimming or breath holding (and hyperventilation) is not permitted. • Floats and rafts are only permitted during designated times and when posted in advance. • Fins and snorkels are only permitted in lap lanes. On occasion during peak demand, the aquatic director may restrict usage of fins to ensure the safety of other swimmers. • When the whistle blows, look to a lifeguard immediately! • Any act deemed unsafe by the lifeguard or management will not be tolerated.

Please cooperate with the lifeguards in enforcement of the rules. Your assistance in reviewing the pool rules with your children will greatly enhance our ability to provide a safe and enjoyable pool atmosphere.
