YMCA Facility Swim Test

To successfully pass the swim test individuals must demonstrate comfort in the water and be able to jump into deep water, surface support for 1 minute, swim 1 length of the pool using a supportive stroke in a horizontal body position on front. Only those who successfully pass the swim test and get a green wristband will be permitted into the deep end of the lap pool.

What to Wear

Children who are not toilet trained must wear a swim diaper or clothing with snug elastic legs. No disposable diapers are permitted. Swim diapers are available for sale at the Membership Desk. Others must wear clean attire used only for swimming.

Serious Medical Conditions

We ask that those with serious medical conditions should ensure that aquatic staff are aware of the condition. Your medical doctor should be consulted before swimming.

To ensure that children have a safe and enjoyable swimming experience, the YMCA of CEO has implemented a wristband procedure. This system allows staff to identify children at greater risk of accidents and ensure adequate supervision when in the pool area. All children 15 years and under will be given an identifying wristband by facility staff. Only those who successfully pass the swim test and obtain a green wristband will be permitted into the deep end of the lap pool. Designated Adult/Guardian must be 16 years or older.

YMCA Playing to Learn is a national YMCA curriculum that helps children discover learning through play and aligns with primary school benchmarks. YMCA Playing to Learn provides an understanding of how play is the foundation for learning to read and write, and for learning mathematics, science and technology. We believe YMCA Playing to Learn is the best approach to ensure a child's continued enthusiasm and capacity for lifelong learning.
