Use of the Baby Pool

The lifeguards are NOT responsible for watching children in the baby pool area.  All children should be supervised by an adult while in this area.

ALL INFANTS AND TODDLERS who are not yet potty trained are asked to wear RUBBER PANTS while swimming to protect our baby pool from contamination. These pants can be purchased for a very small charge at the Snack Shack if needed. If your child is not yet potty trained please do not take them in the big pool - only allowed in the baby pool only.

​​Remember that NO ONE should swim alone.  All children should be aware of the pool rules and what could happen if they are not followed.  The lifeguards may ask children to take a swim test to ensure their safety in the pool.

Remember that the lifeguards have the authority to ask swimmers to sit out or to leave the pool area if rules continue to be broken. To ensure that the lifeguards are not distracted from watching the pool we follow a three strikes rule.  After three offenses (time outs) in a day, the member will be asked to leave the pool for the day. A phone call will be made to the parents to make sure they know of the problem. After three days where misbehavior has occurred, the member will be asked to be supervised by an adult for the remainder of the season. They will not be allowed to come to the pool without supervision.

No unsupervised swimmers.

Children must be 12 years old or older to be at the pool without adult supervision. Remember that NO ONE should swim alone.  All children should be aware of the rules and what can happen if they are not followed. The lifeguards may ask children to take a swim test to ensure their safely in the pool.  Young swimmers (ages 12 - 16) are required to have a permission slip on file with the CWRA lifeguards if they wish to swim unsupervised.  Get your youth permission slip at the check-in table or print here:

In order to ensure the safety of all members, these rules may be revised or additional rules established at any time by the CWRA Lifeguards, Pool Manager, and CWRA Board Members.

Our lifeguards have the authority to ask swimmers to sit out or to leave the pool area if rules continue to be broken. We follow a 3 strikes rule.
