Help Reduce Pool Closures
A pool fouling will cause a closure of our pools anywhere from 1-24 hours. Here are some healthy habits you
can take to stop the spread of germs and reduce the number of closures in our pools:
• Take your kids on bathroom breaks or check diapers often.
• The use of a swim diaper is mandatory to enter the pool if a child is not yet fully toilet trained.
• Do not swim if you are feeling sick or have been sick in the past 24 hours. This is especially important for
    children in diapers.
• Wash your body thoroughly with soap and water before swimming.
Thank you for your assistance in keeping our pool clean for all to enjoy!
