SAFETY BREAKS: One ten-minute break will be taken at ten (10) minutes
before the hour, every hour. This is to serve as a time of rest for our guests.
This safety break is for everyone including adults. In the fair housing act,
it states that it is age discrimination to not allow anyone under the age
of 18 in the pool during this 10-minute break. For this reason, the safety
break is for everyone. Lifeguards will remain on the lifeguard stand
during this break, to ensure the pool is vacant.
CHILD SAFETY POLICY: Unfortunately, drowning is the leading cause of
accidental death for children 1 to 4 years of age. Most cases are a result
of little or no supervision, access to a swimming pool or water front and
can even occur in a bathtub. As your pool management company, Malibu
Aquatics wants to create a safe environment for the children of your
community. We will implement our Child Safety Policy at your swimming
pools for the 2020 swim season. This policy will improve accountability,
create awareness and ensure that every child is safe when visiting
community pools.
The Child Safety Policy will be executed with the following rules:
• Children 48 inches and under in height entering the swimming pool
area will be required to wear a wristband issued by the lifeguards.
• Red wristband indicates that the child has NOT passed a Swim Test
administered by the lifeguards. Children with a red wristband are issued
a lifejacket that must be worn at all times. If the guardian elects to not
have the child wear a lifejacket, the guardian is then required to be within
arm’s length of the child at ALL times. The guardian is also issued a red
wristband.
• Green wristband indicates that the child has passed a Swim Test. Once
a child has passed the Swim Test, the child’s name will be added to our
Child Safety Log. Each visit to the pool, the child will need to give the
lifeguard their name and a green wristband will be issued. Children on
the Safety Log are not required to wear a lifejacket or to be within arm’s
reach of their guardian.
• The Swim Test consists of swimming one length of the pool unassisted.
This includes no aid from flotation devices, the lane ropes, pool walls or
the bottom of the pool.
• Any child on the Child Safety Log can be asked to perform a Swim Test
again, should the lifeguards on duty feel the child’s swimming ability has
diminished.
