Rules & Safety Guidelines:

Our goal is to provide a fun, safe and enjoyable experience for all patrons. Please take a few minutes to go over these rules and share them with your children. If you have any questions, please let us know. We expect everyone to follow the basic code of conduct.

Basic Code of Conduct

Respect the Rules – They exist for everyone’s safety.
Respect the Staff – They are here for your safety.
Respect the Facility – You own it.
Respect Each Other – The facility is for all to share.

Fitness Center & Under 18 Use

  • 16 – 17 year olds may use the fitness center without restriction, although completion of a teen orientation is recommended.
  • 11 – 15 year olds may workout in the fitness center under direct parent/guardian supervision or complete a teen orientation to use the fitness center independently.
  • Children 10 years old and younger are not allowed in the fitness center.

WiFi Use

Pool Etiquette

Play your part and help keep pools clean & safe.

  • Take a quick shower prior to entering a pool.
    Rinsing removes microscopic dirt, body oils and fluids, reducing the smell of chlorine on your body and around the pool.
  • Skip the body sprays, colognes and perfumes.
    Scented items react with chlorine and create smelly chloramine off-gasses, not the intended scent.
  • Mom was right. Try to go, even if you don’t think you need it.
    A preventative restroom break is best for kiddos and grownups. For small kids, use pool diapers for those who aren’t reliably toilet-trained. They're at the front desk.
  • Don't share the germs.
    Please don't use the pool if you or your child have had a fever or diarrhea in the past two weeks.
  • Aim for the deep end.
    No diving, except in the deep ends of the pools.
  • No monkey business.
    No running, roughhousing or unsafe behavior.

Supervision Requirements

  • Outdoor Water Slide:
    Children 6 years and younger and under 42 inches must be accompanied and supervised at all times by a responsible person 14 years or older.
  • Children 6 years and younger and under 42 inches:
    Must be supervised at all times by a responsible person 14 years or older.
    Must be accompanied in the water by an adult if they are a non-swimmer.
  • Youth 7 years and older or above 42 inches:
    Direct adult supervision is recommended especially for non-swimmers.
    Non-swimmers must stay where they can stand unless accompanied by a responsible adult or wearing a lifejacket.
  • Small Children’s Pool:
    The Small Children's Pool is reserved for children six and under and others who are unsafe in the larger pools. Older sibling/friends are permitted when there is room and only if playing appropriately. Adult supervision is required for all children swimming in the children’s pool. Help us keep this a safe and enjoyable pool for young children!

Water Features:

  • Deep Water Swim Requirements - Children must be able to comfortably swim one width of the pool (half on front, rolling over and half on back) to swim in the deep end or use the diving boards or rope swing. Lifeguards may require that you demonstrate your swim skills before using the deep end features. Lifejackets and/or catching and assisting children are not allowed.
  • Hot Tub - Youth ages 6 years and up are only allowed in the hot tubs with an adult guardian; not allowed during Open Recreation Swim.
  • Steam Room & Dry Sauna - Reserved for ages 16 and up.

Flotation Devices & Water Toys

  • Lifejackets are encouraged for non-swimmers, which we provide for use. People wearing lifejackets may not use the diving boards, rope swing or large slide.
  • Water wings and assisted flotation devices are permitted but may not be used as a substitute for supervision, lifejackets or swimming ability. Non-swimmers using water wings or partial flotation devices will be required to have an adult with them in the water at all times.
  • Outside toys are not allowed.

Class Etiquette

In group exercise, like all social settings, common courtesy calls for sensitivity to others. Please follow these etiquette guidelines when participating in group exercise classes.

  • New to class? Arrive early and introduce yourself to the instructor, and let them know if you need any modifications.
  • Respect the instructor, and other participants, by arriving on time to get the most out of the class and warm up, and plan on participating to the best of your ability and staying through the cooldown/stretch. Modify moves as needed. If you’re looking to do your own workout, visit our studios during Workout on Your Own hours.
  • Be respectful to all by keeping conversations to a minimum. If you’re looking to socialize throughout class, please visit our studios/pools during Workout on Your Own times.
  • Participants should be clean and free of scents or perfumes.
  • Glass is prohibited in all facilities and parks.
  • Water or sports drinks must be in containers with lids.
  • Silence cell phones.

  • The safest place to secure your belongings is locked in one of our lockers.
  • For classes that have size limitations, only sign-in for yourself. You must be present at the start of class or your spot will be relinquished to the next person on the waiting list.

Check with your physician before beginning any exercise program. If you have any medical considerations (recent surgeries, knee, neck or back problems, etc.), be sure to inform your teacher beforehand. Please note that instructors may use both physical assists as well as verbal cues to help students attain proper form, alignment and position. Please notify the instructor before class begins if you do not want to be touched. You are encouraged to bring and drink water throughout your workout.
