Pool Rules

We reserve the right to create new rules for the purpose of safety.

Patrons of all ages are expected to follow all rules. It is the role of lifeguards to enforce rules. Any patron who does not comply will be asked to leave. 

Children age 8 and under must be accompanied by a 14+ year old at all times, regardless of passing their deep-end test.

Deep End

Children 12 and under are required to pass a deep-end test to swim in deep water. 

The boards may be closed. During this time patrons may swim freely in the deep-end. 

Life jackets are the only flotation devices allowed in the deep end.

Wristbands

Wristbands will be given to children who successfully complete the deep-end test. 

Children with wristbands may be asked to return to an area where they can touch based on lifeguard discretion. 

Slide

Children must be 48” to ride the slide, or have passed the deep-end test.

ALL riders must go feet-first and lay on their back. 

Parents may NOT catch or hold a child going down the slide.

Toys, goggles, and life jackets are not allowed on the slide.

No swimming in slide area.

The slide may be closed due to insufficient patron numbers. 

Water Walk

No swimming in Water Walk area.

One patron may cross the water walk (lily pads) at a time. 

Zero Depth

Please assist us by watching your children closely! Curiosity can bring children too far into the water.

Rest Period

There will be a 10 minute rest period each hour. 

Patrons 18+ are allowed to swim during this time. 

Children are expected to remain out of the water and seated. 

Food and Drink

No outside coolers are permitted.

Food and drink are available for purchase at the concession stand.

All food and drink are to be kept in roped off area. 

Closure

The aquatic center may be closed due to inclement weather.

If, after 1 hour, there are fewer than 15 swimmers the aquatic center will be closed. 

In the event of a tornado, no patron under the age of 18 will be allowed to exit the facility without a parent/guardian. 

The Sanborn Aquatic Center is NOT responsible for Lost or Stolen items!
