POOL FAQ
SWIM LESSONS
Can my children swim alone?
• 5 and under, wearing a red wristband, must be within an arm's reach of a person that is at least 13 years of age. • 6 and 7 year-olds and non-swimmers (those in swim vests), wearing a green wristband, must stay in the same pool as a person that is at least 13 years of age. • Children who have passed the swim test may stay in MRC pools unaccompanied. A person that is at least 13 years of age must remain in the facility.
The ERBM Recreation & Park District offers American Red Cross swim lessons throughout the year at the Meeker Recreation Center Pool.
Group Lessons: Pages 13 & 15
Private Lessons
How many children can I bring to the pool?
• Zero-Depth Pool A person (13+) may supervise up to three children wearing a red wristband. • Leisure and Lap Pools A person (13+) may supervise up to two children wearing a red wristband.
Our certified instructors are available to teach all skill levels. Lessons will be scheduled based on instructor and pool availability.
Why are showers required before I swim?
• Due to the high pH levels in personal hygiene products (shampoos, deodorants, lotions, etc.), chemical imbalances may occur in the pool.
Private (one student): $85 for five 30-minute lessons; $15 per additional lesson, up to 9 total lessons Semi-private (2-3 students): $100 for five 30-minute lessons
Children must wear swim diapers until they are 100% toilet trained.
Wristbands will be distributed to children under 8, unless they pass a swim test.
