Rules and Proper Attire

The YMCA will close the swimming pool due to any incidents of fecal contamination.  The pool will remain closed until all contamination have been treated and eliminated.  Pool users can help us avoid contamination by following these simple guidelines:

Do not use pool if your or your child has had diarrhea in the previous two weeks.

Shower your child and yourself before entering the pool

Do not change your child's diaper at poolside

Do not rinse diaper-aged children in the pool before, during or after diaper changes.

Assist young children in making frequent visits to the bathroom to minimize accidents

Do not rinse hands in the pool following a trip to the bathroom or changing a child's diaper.  Wash hands correctly by using warm water and soap
