Weather Policy

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.
Attendance Policy
For Open Swim, if there are fewer than 50 patrons in the facility 2 hours after opening, the FAC may close for the remainder of the swim session. Refunds will not be issued; Rain checks will be issued to non-season pass holders upon request. Always check Facebook and the Statusfy app for up-to-date information
