Safety Breaks (90+ degrees)

On days when the temperature is forecasted to reach 90°F or higher during open swim, a 30-minute safety break will be scheduled from 2:00 to 2:30 PM. This break allows our lifeguards time to cool down and rest away from their guard stands to ensure they remain alert and effective throughout their shift.
