STORM POLICY

When thunder and/or lightning are first noticed, the Flash-To-Bang (F-B) method is used to determine its’ distance and speed.  For each five seconds from F-B, lightning is one mile away.  At a F-B count of thirty, the pool will be evacuated.  Pool activities will remain suspended until at least thirty minutes after the last thunder is heard.  The pool manager on duty determines rain checks and pool closure.

All children aged seven and under must be accompanied by an adult (16 and over) at all times.  There will be no charge for a child under the age of four IF the adult is dressed to swim and pays the admission fee.  If the adult is not swimming, $3 will be charged for every child dressed to swim, regardless of age.  An adult entering the pool area to supervise a child (and that child has paid the admission fee), that adult will not be charged admission, unless wearing a swimming suit.
