Family Pool

Family Pool

The family pool offers a shallow entry and progresses to a nine-foot deep diving well, as well as our Splash Pad. The deck area is large with many lounge chairs, tables and multiple shaded areas. The recreational pool is open mid-May through mid-September each year.

Why no inflatables or water rings?

Water wings, swim rings, inflatable toys and other items designed for water recreation are not substitutes for U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets or adult supervision. These devices enable swimmers to go beyond their ability. For those with little or no swimming skill, a fall off one of these devices could lead to a drowning situation. Additionally, the materials used for these devices deteriorate in sun and rough pool surfaces, leading to deflation and leaks.

Life jackets, also known as personal flotation devices (PFDs), are not just for boats. Unless under direct supervision in a designated swimming area, young children and weak swimmers should wear life jackets whenever they are in, on or around the water. People who cannot swim well should wear a life jacket whenever they are near the water as well. Even in public pools or water parks, people with little or no swimming ability should wear one. All life jackets should be U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) approved and in good condition. If the life jacket is U.S. Coast Guard approved, it will be marked on the device.

USCG-approved PFDs are designed to preserve lives, which is why we specifically require them and don’t accept any of the numerous other “kid-friendly” flotation aids or swim-aids that are available on the market. There are quite a few USCG-approved PFDs made just for kids but generally they are simply standard units in kid appropriate sizes with kid friendly graphics on them. They are designed to keep the wearer safe, but are not meant to encourage the child to spend more time in the water or to allow any significant freedom of movement.

When choosing a life jacket:

Make sure it is the right type for the activity.
Make sure it is U.S. Coast Guard approved.
Make sure it fits the intended user. Check the label on the life jacket for weight limits.
Check buckles and straps for proper function.
Discard any life jacket with torn fabric or straps that have pulled loose.
Put it on and practice swimming with it.
*Remember to never leave a child unattended in the water, even if they have the perfect PFD on*

Pool age requirements:

Our family pool is staffed with lifeguards when open. Children who are 12 years of age or older may attend the pool without an adult. However, if a child is attending the family pool with younger children like siblings, the oldest child must be 13 years or older.
