We invite you to bring your own Personal Floatation Device for all non-swimmers who cannot pass the YMCA’s swim test. All Personal Floatation Devices must be Coast Guard-approved and adults must always be within an arm’s reach. We do not allow for any type of air-filled floatation devices.
For safety reasons, we ask that any swimmers who are 13 years old or younger pass a brief swim test. The test consists of:
A test won't be required if the child or teen will be within arm’s reach of someone 14 years old or older for the entirety of the time they are in the water.
If your children pass our swim test, you do not need to be in the water with them and can sit on the pool deck while they swim. We ask that you stay on the pool deck while your children are in the water.
We will have designated seating for each family that enjoys open swim. If members are not in the pool, they should be seated in their designated area and continue to abide by pool rules or appropriately supervised by an adult.
Learn more about birthday parties here, find a time that works for your family, and register here! Birthday parties at the Cottage Lake Pool have a maximum capacity of 30 total guests (adults and kids).
