Group Reservation Guidelines
- Group reservations must meet facility capacity projections for the requested date.
- We accept reservations no more than one week in advance.
- Groups must pay in full when they arrive.
- No refunds.
Group Arrival and Departure
We've implemented group arrival and departure guidelines in response to record use of our aquatic facilities. We aim to balance equitable use of public infrastructure with group accommodations.
- Groups must arrive by noon for immediate entry into the facility.
- We admit groups who arrive after the facility opens depending on capacity. This is subject to the determination of the facility supervisor.
- We want to make our facilities available to the greatest number of guests. We are unable to hold spots (have other visitors wait outside) while waiting for your group to arrive.
- We ask that groups leave at 3 p.m., at the start of our afternoon safety break.
- This allows us to resume full capacity for public admission.
Group Safety Expectations
- Groups must check-in with our aquatics team upon arrival for a water safety overview. This includes an introduction to the facility and our rules and regulations.
- Adults must supervise any child in or around water.
- Supervisors should be completely focused on the children. They should never engage in other distracting activities, such as using their phone or reading.
- Groups visiting our aquatic faciities must meet the following child-to-staff ratios.
- Please note: The required ratio of staff to older children should be met without including staff who are supervising infants or toddlers.
- Whenever children under 5 years are in or around water, supervising staff should be within an arm’s length.
Developmental level | Child-to-staff ratio |
|---|
Infants | 1:1 |
Toddlers | 1:1 |
Preschoolers | 4:1 |
School-Age Children | 6:1 |
