ADULT TO CHILD RATIOS Please make certain that required adult-to-child supervision ratios are met. These ratios have been established for the safety of all of our young guests. To avoid disappointment, make certain you have the required adult supervision before entering the pool area. The ratios listed below are established for the safety of our young guests. Those not meeting the ratios are not allowed in the pool area. • Children ages 10 years and over may enter the facility without an adult supervisor • Children ages 8 and 9 years must be accompanied by a supervisor 16 years or older. The supervisor must be in the facility at all times. One supervisor is required for every 5 children in this age group. • Children ages 5 thru 7 years must be visually supervised by a supervisor 16 years and over at all times. One supervisor is required for every 5 children in this age group. • Children 4 years of age and under must be within arm’s reach of a supervisor 16 years and over. One supervisor is required for every 2 children in this age group. • Large groups must maintain a 1:5 adult to children under 10 ratio.
POOL INFORMATION • The last 15 minutes of every hour is an adult swim/safety break. Children 2 years of age and under may swim with a parent or guardian. All others must clear the pool. • All children not toilet trained must wear waterproof diapers (Swimmies). No exceptions are made. • Proper swim attire required. Cut-off jeans and thongs are not permitted. • Glass containers and alcohol are prohibited. • The Dublin Community Pool North and Dublin Community Pool South facilities and grounds are smoke-free. • Only small, round, soft sponge balls and soft, round, inflatable beach balls are permitted. • The following floatation devices are permitted: noodles, water- wings, Coast Guard approved personal floatation devices, suits with built in floatation and baby seat floaters.

For safety reasons, all children under 7 years old using a floatation device must be within arm’s reach of an adult while in the water. • The Dublin Community Pools are seasonal and weather dependent. At times of cool, rainy weather or during any condition considered unsafe, the pools may be closed at the discretion of the Aquatics Supervisor. Please contact the pools directly if you have any questions. • As a courtesy to others, please use only one lounge chair per person. LARGE SLIDE RULES: According to health department codes and manufacturer’s recommendations, height requirements for use of the large slides are based on the swimming ability of the rider and the depth of water at the end of each slide. Swim tests are required for riders 0–6 inches taller than the depth of the water at the end of the slide. • Swim tests are administered during safety breaks, 15 minutes before each hour. Those who do not pass the swim test are not permitted to ride the slides. (Exception: Those within the height limit not passing the swim test are permitted to ride with an adult rider on the inner tube slide at the South Pool only.) • All participants must meet the minimum height requirements as determined by the State of Ohio Health Department in order to ride the slides. A complete list of information is posted at each facility. LAP LANE INFORMATION • Two lanes are available for lap swimming during regularly scheduled hours of operation beginning at noon, with the exception of Wednesday evening swim meets. • During swim team season (May 31-July 15), the lap lane area is closed until noon Monday – Friday. • During evening programming, water fitness or swim lessons, at least one lane is available for lap swimming. • During Wednesday evening meets (June 8-July 6); the lap lane area closes at 4 p.m. The swim meet schedule is posted at the front desk of each facility. • Due to league scheduling conflicts or inclement weather, swim meets may be rescheduled to a weekday evening.
