Westminster Swim Club

Supervised Swimming/Child Safety

Swimming is not permitted unless a lifeguard is on duty.  An adult must supervise children inside the wading pool enclosure at all times.  Children under the age of 10 are not allowed in the Club without a parent or guardian present.  Parents and guardians are responsible for watching all children under the age of 10 and all children who cannot pass a basic swim test.  While Lifeguards are on duty for safety and emergencies, they are not expected to babysit

Child Behavior

WSC is a safe, family-friendly environment and we will not tolerate bullying or other unacceptable behavior.  If a member-child is observed bullying, hitting or any other unacceptable behavior anywhere on Club grounds, the incident will be reported to the parents, with only ONE warning, and further inappropriate behavior will result in action (i.e. suspension).  If a non-member child/guest is observed having unacceptable behavior, they will be expelled from the Club immediately. 

Flotation Devices

Swimming assist devices are allowed in the pool, however, parents/guardians are still strongly recommended to be in the water with children using such devices.   These devices, while helpful, can give children a false sense of security.

Diving Board/Diving Well

One person at a time is allowed on the diving board.  Please wait until the previous diver reaches the ladder before you jump from the board.  The diving well (deep end) is closed to free-play when there are people using the board.  The Lifeguard on duty will direct whether or not the diving board is open or closed to diving.
