General Pool Rules

A FEW SAFETY ISSUES TO KEEP IN MIND

We want to ensure the saftey of all members while at the pool.  .  While on their way to the pool, some of the kids have had near misses with cars pulling in and out of the parking lot.  We would like to remind parents to ensure that they accompany their kids down the hill and that they are wearing the proper safety equipment. Drivers should also be cautious in watching for pedestrians. Also, children that have not passed the swim test are not allowed in the pool gates without parental supervision.

POOL AND CONCESSION STAND HOURS

See accompanying tab for pool hours and concession stand hours and information.

GUEST POLICY

A member may invite guests to the facility up to two times per month (to prevent overcrowding). 

CHILDREN 3 AND UNDER

Approved swim diapers are required for all children 3 and under (and those with unreliable toilet habits). The approved diaper must be made of impermeable fabric designed specifically for use as a swim diaper. If there are any fecal accidents, the pool must be closed for 24 hours for cleaning. The use of disposable swim diapers eg., Little Swimmers alone are not approved. Approved diapers are available at new Baby Products on Cheshire Bridge. We plan to stock swim diapers in the concession stand but do not guarantee availability.

WIRELESS ACCESS

RVA is a wireless hotspot so bring your laptop because surf's up all summer long!

ADULT SWIM

Adult swim is held every hour at 10 minutes of the hour. This allows lifeguards to take a break and do required maintenance. During adult swim no children are allowed in the adult pool unless they are constantly being held by a parent or guardian.

CHILDREN'S USE OF FACILITIES

Children under 12 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times while at the pool. When lifeguards are on duty children 9 to 11 may use the facilities without adult accompaniment provided they have passed the RVA swim test.  Click on the link or navigate to the "Swim Test" page  for test specifics.
