Swim Test Requirements
In order to swim in water greater than chest depth, participants must pass a swim test. The swim test is administered by aquatics staff and a wrist band will be provided to participants who successfully pass it.

To pass the swim test:
A patron must submerge their head under water, surface, and then immediately swim the width of the pool (15 yards) on their front while comfortably maintaining forward movement without touching the bottom or sides of the pool.

Patrons are not permitted to stand on stairs or structures in the pool adjacent to water that is greater than chest depth if they have not passed the swim test.

Non-swimmers (those who have not passed the swim test and the water is greater than chest depth) must remain within an arm’s reach of a supervising adult.
