- Hanging on the diving board is not allowed.
- No games are allowed in the diving area that require a person to jump or dive from the board at swimmers.
Lap Swim Rules
Please follow these simple rules to keep lap swimming flowing smoothly for everyone.
- Lap swimmers must share lanes when necessary.
- Politely inform any swimmer in a lane you are entering, that you are joining them.
- If there are two people in a lane you may either split the lane (one person swims on each side of the black line) or circle swim in the lane (each swimmer stays to the right side of the lane – like standard traffic rules).
- If there are three or more people in a lane, everyone should circle swim.
Baby Pool Rules
The "kiddie pool" is for babies and small children under the direct adult supervision of parents or baby-sitters.
- Children in the baby pool area should have adult supervision at all times, even when there are life guards present.
- Children who are water safe and older than six years should NOT play in the baby pool.
- Absolutely no diving into the baby pool.
- Absolutely no running and jumping into the pool.
- Make sure your children understand that the lane line separates this shallow end from deeper water.
Swimming Attire
At SCRA our rules regarding swim attire are simple. Everyone must wear a swim suit!
- Swim diapers are also REQUIRED for children who are not yet toilet trained. The diapers should be age/size appropriate, and should feel very snug on your child.
- Wearing a swimming cap or hair tie is optional – although they will keep hair out of your face during those important moments when seeing and breathing are essential.
- Goggles are optional, however they will help protect your eyes from becoming blurry or stinging.
