Band Tests for Early Swimmers

To ensure the safety of our young members, swimming tests are given to those age 12 and under, and similar guests, by our lifeguards to screen their capabilities throughout the season.  

There are two tests:

  1. Low Band for access to the whole pool and slide, except for the diving well:   swim one lap freestyle and tread water for 90 seconds with chin and ears above water.
  2. High Band for access to the whole pool and diving well:  swim one lap freestyle and one lap of choice stroke and then tread water for two minutes with chin and ears above water.

Tests are given approximately each half hour for the first month of operation.

Band tests for July and August are given once an hour.
