Q: Who do I go to, to get swim tested?
A: Lifeguard wearing a safety vest
Q: What if the down guard is needed on Deck?
A: If there are 2 lifeguards on deck, the one wearing the safety vest can perform
the swim test while the other covers both zones.

slide?

they are too short to go down the slide.

A: They can swim in the pirate ship, or need a lifejacket or parent within arms
reach at all times.

I go workout?
A: No, unless your child is 12 years or older, they must be accompanied by someone who is at least 16 years of age.
Q: My child has a red band when can they retest for a green band?
A: They can retest as soon as their next visit.
Q: Does my child have to retest every time they visit the Y?
A: No, once your child passes, the color band will go in their account. Once it is in
their account, then at check in, the front desk will distribute the correct colored band.
