A beautiful, recently resurfaced pool is a center piece of our camp. We consider swimming a fun and exciting part of our program, but it is safety that is our biggest concern. Of course, the pool is private and fully fenced.  We also meet all the latest requirements regarding drains and hand rails.

We have float ropes in place separating deep and shallow ends.  A lifeguard sits in the lifeguard chair at all times while children are in the pool.  Other lifeguards are on duty both on the sides of the pool and in the pool itself.    We have weekly training sessions with our lifeguards throughout the summer to review safety rules and to deal with any issues that may arise.

Children are divided into age groups for swimming.  On their first visit to the pool they are skill-tested and assigned to either the shallow or deep end.  Although we only give swim lessons at our SK-PreK program, our swim counselors work with children in the other programs who are not water safe to make them water safe.

All campers have the opportunity to choose swimming as an activity every day.  Like every other activity at our camp, we like the pool to be a choice---and fun.
