Birthday Parties - Safety Requirements

ADULTS MUST BE PREPARED TO ENTER THE POOL AT THE SAME TIME AS THE CHILDREN

Supervision: SERIOUSLY. SAFETY FIRST. Nothing can ruin a wonderful party more than an accident.

Children ages 6 and younger. 6 year olds can just about stand in our 4 ft. depth. For this reason we require one adult to go into the water with children who are less than 52 inches tall. We have a lifeguard on duty, but to avoid a traumatizing incident, parents in the water are necessary to immediately help a child who falls off the step or noodle. We have found that it is almost impossible to watch more than 6, 6 year olds at a time so the best ratio is 1 adult for each 6 children. The party host must consider that some 6 year olds are pretty good swimmers and some are not. If an adult or teenager over 15 years old is not available to go into the water with the children who cannot stand, we require ALL the children who cannot stand to wear lifejackets regardless of swimming ability.

We find that children ages <11 are best suited for Swim-in Zone Swim Parties. Children older than 10-11, especially boys, quickly become bored.

Children who are very young require an adult with each child. This is for the children's own safety and the peace of mind for the parent and party host. The party host may require the children to wear U.S. Coast Guard approved lifejackets which Swim-in Zone will provide. Swim-in Zone does not permit any kind of flotation devices other than U.S. Coast Guard approved devices.

Swim diapers: Swim-in Zone requires double swim diapers- a disposable swim diaper and a NON-DISPOSABLE swim diaper or rubber pants. For birthday party guests who arrive with only a disposable swim diaper, we will provide a loaner non-disposable swim diaper to wear over the disposable swim diaper. Parents may also purchase a non-disposable swim diaper in our store. Click here for our diaper policy.

Children over age 6. If ALL the children are 52 inches tall and can stand in 4 ft. of water, an adult must be in the pool area, but does not need to be in the water.

All Swim-in Zone rules and policies apply to groups. See pool rules. PLEASE NO FOOD IN THE POOL ROOM. It draws ants and it can a problem as it gets into the filtration equipment.

Parents: Parents and adults are encouraged to get into the water and play with the children. There is no charge for adults in the pool supervising a party.
