                                              WSC Swim Club Rules

All members and guests using Westminster Swim Club facilities do so at their own risk. Westminster assumes no responsibility for anyone using the facilities and will not be responsible for accidents or incidents in connection with such use.

Supervised Swimming/Child Safety

  •  Swimming is not permitted unless a lifeguard is on duty.  Everyone must heed the lifeguard’s instructions.  

  •  Lifeguards do not supervise the wading pool.  Parents/Guardians 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 their children at all times.  While Lifeguards are on duty for safety and emergencies, they are not expected to babysit or manage children.  

  • Parents/Guardians are to be in the larger pool, within arms reach of children who cannot pass a basic swim test

​

Flotation Devices

  • Swimming assist devices are permitted in the pool, however, parents/guardians are to be in the water, within arm’s reach of children using such devices.  These devices, while helpful, can give children a false sense of security.  

  • No flotation devices shall be permitted on the diving board or in the diving well.

  • Rafts are permitted in the pool during designated raft nights only.  During those times, only single person rafts and inner tubes are permitted for use.  Oversized rafts are not permitted.

 

Conduct

  • 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 engaging in unacceptable behavior, they will be expelled from the Club immediately. 

  • No running, pushing, or roughhousing

  • No abusive, profane, or otherwise offensive language shall be permitted on Club premises.


Lifeguards

  • Unnecessary conversation with Lifeguards, while on duty, is prohibited.  The lifeguards’ attention must be on the people in the water and around the pool.

​

Food/Alcohol

  • No food or drinks are allowed in the water.  

  • Patrons are expected to clean up their trash throughout the day and before they leave.  If a spill of food or liquid occurs, please inform a lifeguard in the office if help is needed cleaning up.  

  • Alcoholic beverages are to be consumed responsibly.  Please use non-labeled cups or koozies so cans/labels are not visible.

  • Any person suspected of being under the influence of alcohol or drugs is prohibited from entering the water.  Patrons that are visibly intoxicated may be asked to leave the pool grounds.  

  • Glass containers of any kind are not permitted on the Club premises.
