Information about Aides
We do not have aides. Swimmers must bring a friend or family member with them to the pool if assistance will be needed (a separate personal information sheet must be submitted for each aide). An aide is a responsible adult who will accompany the client in the dressing room and stay within arms reach in the pool at all times.

Therapeutic Swimmer Notes:

All participants must have a current medical form on file. Form must be renewed when changes occur or when it expires. Swimmers without a current file will not be allowed in the water until it has been properly updated.
The T.S. program is not open to particpants' relatives or friends unless that person is an aide to the particpant in the water. An aide is a responsible adult who will accompany the participant in the dressing rooms and pool at all times. A separate personal information sheet must be completed by the aide.
All T.S. participants must check in at the front desk on every visit to show their valid swim pass and print their name on our attendance sheet.
No swimmer is allowed on the deck or in the water unless a lifeguard is on duty.
All swimmers must fully shower (using soap) and remove all small items from their person (hair pins, band-aids, contact lenses, jewelry, gum, etc.) before entering our pool.
Blue-Zone Handicapped Parking is available both inside and outside our gates for those with the correct permit or placard from the DMV. Those without proper permits must park outside the gates in non-Blue Zone parking spaces.
There are no refunds.
