ATTENTION SHUTTER BUGS!
PLEASE NO PHOTO TAKING WHILE CHILDREN ARE IN THE POOL.
While we are just as excited about your child learning to swim as you are, our lifeguards need a clear view of the pool from all sides and clear poolside access at all times. In the interest of your child’s safety and to preserve the privacy of other families, please save your photos shoots for before or after swim lessons and stay at least 6 feet from pool edge unless otherwise allowed by the onsite Swim Lesson Manager. Thank you for your understanding!
