The Fine Print (*, **, ***)
*Outdoor Pool Bulk Tickets can be purchased at City Hall (2nd Floor Recreation and Community Development Reception) or any of the four outdoor pools.
**Children under the age of 6 must be supervised by an adult or responsible youth at all times. To help preschool age children stay safe in and around the water, the City requires that all participants comply with the following policy: "For every two preschoolers under the age of 6, there must be one adult or responsible youth (16 years or older) within arm's length, supervising the preschoolers' water play and activity." The best life preserver for your child is YOU! Infants and toddlers participating in water play must wear an appropriate swim diaper.
***Family is defined as a group up to seven individuals with a maximum of two adults.
