Tot Time

Infants and toddlers can play in the zero-entry pool before the center opens to the public.

The slides and play features are closed, so this is a good time to bring kids who want a calmer pool experience.

At this time, pool toys will be available; non-inflatable, clean pool toys can also be brought.

A lifeguard will be on duty. Adult supervision is required and adults must be in the water with their children.

Each session requires participants to exit the facilities before regular hours.

Only U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets may be worn. No other flotation decides allowed.
