Our facility uses a banding system to identify at-risk swimmers.
Children must be within arm's reach of a guardian (12 years or older) at all times, regardless of swimming ability.
Children must successfully complete the facility swim test in order to swim independently of their guardian (12 years or older). If they do not pass, they must stay within arm's reach of the guardian and wear red band.
To pass the facility swim test, children must swim two widths of the pool, face in the water, without stopping while demonstrating a regular breathing pattern. If completed successfully the swimmer will receive a green band which allows them to swim independently.
