YMCA AGE GUIDELINES
AQUATIC POLICIES
FACILITY AGE GUIDELINES
LIFEGUARDS AND ADULT SUPERVISION Our aquatic staff of certified lifeguards strive to maintain the highest standards possible. The goal is to provide members with a safe, clean atmosphere in which families can enjoy aquatic fitness and recreation. The purpose of the lifeguards is not to supervise children, but to ensure the safety of all by preventing and responding to emergencies. Therefore, parents are expected to closely supervise their children and assist in enforcing the pool rules.
In order to provide a safe and positive experience for the youth of our community, the following guidelines related to facility use by YMCA members and guests will apply. ”Supervising individuals” are defined as persons 18 years or older. The following guidelines apply to all youth not participating in a supervised, structured program while in the facility. Youth ages 7 and under are required to be directly supervised at all times. Child Watch is available to all members free of charge for children 6 weeks to 6 years old. Prime Time is available to all members free of charge for children 7 years old and up. Youth ages 8-11 are required to be accompanied by a supervising individual who remains in the building. This individual does not have to be in the same area as the youth. Youth ages 12 or older are not required to be accompanied by a supervising individual. They are required to follow the age policies for specific areas as outlined to the right.
AGE GUIDELINES FOR SPECIFIC AREAS
Free Weight/Cardiovascular Areas Youth ages 12-15 are required to complete the Youth Strength Training Class to use this area and need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian who is actively monitoring the youth. Youth age 11 and under are not permitted in weight/cardiovascular areas (unless participating in a YMCA program). Appropriate attire is required including athletic shoes. Whirlpool/Sauna/Steam Members & guests need to be 18 years old to use these facilities. Locker/Shower Facilities Youth age 5 and over are required to use the same gender locker room or family locker room and be accompanied by a supervising individual. Exercise Classes Participants need to be 14 years old. Youth ages 12-13 may participate with a supervising individual if they are willing and able to follow class structure.
Child Watch/Prime Time
Available for children ages 6 weeks and up, Child Watch/Prime Time is drop-in childcare for our members and guests while they utilize the facility. CHILD WATCH/PRIME TIME IS FREE TO OUR MEMBERS! Please understand children are served on a first-come, first served basis. For safety purposes we are limited to the number of children that can be served at one time.

1. A parent or guardian must directly supervise children 7 & under at all times unless your child is a participant in a Y supervised program. 2. All children considered to be non-swimmers must be accompanied in the water by a parent/guardian 18 years or older. Adults are requested to stay within arms distance at all times (No more than four children can accompany one adult). 3.

PROPER SWIMSUIT ATTIRE IS REQUIRED
In the interest of public health and safety, and in compliance with all local and state laws, only appropriate clean swimwear may be worn. Appropriate swimsuit attire is defined as clothing specifically designed for use in the water. They are designed to be quick drying and are generally made from smooth, nylon material. Examples of appropriate swimwear include: swimsuits with a lining, shirts, board shorts, and swim trunks with an affixed/sewn inner lining. Please help us keep our water clean! The Racine Family Y prides itself in maintaining an exceptionally high standard of water quality. Help us with this by wearing appropriate, clean swimwear and by showering prior to pool entry. Inappropriate attire can damage our pumps and off-set our chemical levels.
FLOTATION DEVICES AND TOYS
At this time, flotation devices and pool toys are welcome at our aquatic facilities under the following guidelines: • Any person using a flotation device must have a parent or adult accompanying them in the water within arms reach • Any flotation device or pool toy must be clean and free of any debris (i.e. sand & beach water residue) • Flotation devices and/or pool toys will be allowed at the lifeguard’s discretion • Water wings are strongly discouraged for use as flotation devices • The YMCA recommends only US Coast Guard approved flotation devices

POOL? State regulations require showering before entering a pool. This policy is in place for the health and safety of all people who use our pools each day. CAN I WATCH MY CHILD’S LESSON? Parents are invited to stay and watch their child’s lesson. All parents are asked to observe from the benches. WHY DO CHILDREN UNDER 7 HAVE TO HAVE AN ADULT IN THE WATER? It is a safety precaution. Parents need to be around to help the lifeguards with behavior problems so that the guards can focus on safety and all families can have fun. WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP MY CHILD PROGRESS AT A FASTER RATE IN LESSONS? A child will not move to the next level until he/she has successfully demonstrated the skills required in their current level. Please remember that even though your child may not have advanced to the next level, instructors will individualize within each class, keeping all children challenged. What can you do as a parent? Don’t compare children; each child will progress at a pace that’s right for them. Always be understanding and encouraging. Parents are encouraged to bring their children to the pool to practice between classes. Your children can also practice their skills at home, blowing bubbles during bath time or using “big arms” while watching television. Ask their instructor for additional skills they can work on at home. IS THERE CHILDCARE FOR GENERAL PUBLIC DURING LESSONS? Yes! Child Watch/Prime Time is available for children ages 6 weeks and up. Members receive Child Watch/Prime Time free of charge. General public fees are: $5/hr. Reservations are not accepted. Children are served on a first-come, first-served basis.

TRAIN FOR A FAMILY 5K RUN/WALK TOGETHER!
Why a 5k distance? Five kilometers (or 3.1 miles) is a great starting distance nearly anyone can train to accomplish. The distance is far enough to gain benefits of endurance training and short enough for young family members to participate. (I recommend at least 7-8 years and older for most families. Younger kids can ride in a jogging stroller).
Proceeds from your participation in the Lighthouse Run allows the RACINE FAMILY Y to provide program support and financial assistance to youth and families who need it in our community. Only by working together can we give more kids the opportunity to grow strong in spirit, mind and body.
