   It's time to learn about...

         

 It's Your Choice

 

 

Safe behavior is a choice.
It's not a trick.

You choose.  You decide.
You get to pick.

Be smart.  Know the rules.
Be patient.  Enjoy the pools.
Be a good sport and all will know that your're cool!

Learn how to swim and then practice and train.
It won't be too long before you RULE the lane.

Swim for good times... both fun times and fast.

And be safe in the pool so those good times will last.

We swim for good times!®

Commercial swimming pools do their best to provide safe environments for your activities.  YOU are responsible for making good choices.  You are responsible for selecting the programs suited to your skills, abilities, and health.  By electing to use the facilities and participate in programs, you assume all risk for any harm or injury you sustain.  By your voluntary participation as a participant or spectator, you could be injured.  Take responsibility.  Do not take risks or do activities that may not be appropriate.  Ask questions.  If you have any questions about your health and how it might be affected by exercise or other activities at a swimming pool, contact your doctor and obtain permission before participating.  A complete physical is recommended before beginning any exercise program.  Pay attention to your surroundings.  Be aware of the presence of others while you participate.  Do not engage in activities that could injure others.  Report any unusual significant hazard during your presence or participation and remove yourself from participation.  If you bring belongings, you are responsible for their care and safety.  They could be lost, stolen, or damaged.  Contact a staff member if you have any problems or concerns.

How can you help keep yourself safe?

Be smart.  You are a kid... a smart kid.  Pay attention to what is happening around you.  Make good choices for yourself.

Be patient.  Accidents happen when you are too much of a hurry.  Slow down.  Take your time.  Enjoy the pool.

Be a good sport.  You may have to adjust your activities based on the pool facility and/or on the people you are with.  Look out for the people you care about.  Make choices that work for everyone in your group.  Be creative and find ways to have fun in any situation.
