FAQ – What does swim time look like?
 • We will be able to use our aquatics area this year. As it currently stands, swim time will work as follows:
     • Campers will be given the opportunity to swim Mondays and Wednesdays every week during the
       summer. For the safety of your camper and the safety of other Community Center members, all
       campers will be required to take a swim test with one of our certified aquatics personnel. Based
       off of your campers swimming capabilities, they will be given one of three wristbands that
       corresponds with their swimming ability. Please note that for safety reasons, at no time will
       campers be allowed access to the hot tub.
     • Red - Full access to the zero depth entry pool and play area.
     • Yellow - Full access to any area of the pool where their feet can safely touch; depending on the
       height of your camper, this may include the lazy river and slide.
     • Green - Full access to the pool and pool amenities including: the deep end, pool swing, lazy river,
       and slide.
 • If you, or your camper are dissatisfied with their assigned swim wristband, they are eligible to retake
   the swim test during their next swim time. Please note that retaking the swim test may cut into your
   camper's swim time and no guarantee can be made that they will be assigned a different swim bracelet
   color.
