Protective Layer Policy

All children under the age of 4, even if they are potty trained, will be required to wear the snug protective layers shown above when using the pool.

• Snug fitting protective layers will need to pass the two-finger test. If two fingers can fit under the elastic in the legs and waist, the layer is too large.
• Students who have a repeated accident in the pool may be required to wear special protective layers, such as adult sized rubber pants, regardless of age.
• If a child under the age of 4 is found not properly layered, they will be asked to leave the pool and return once the appropriate attire is worn.
