Group User Policy

Schools, Not-for-Profits, and other organizations who would like to bring groups of 5 or more people to the pool, must make reservations with the Pool Manager a minimum of two weeks in advance. If prior arrangements are not made, the John M. Fleet Pool Manager in charge reserves the right to deny the group entry to the pool if there are not enough Lifeguard staff members available to provide the proper pool coverage, and/or if the organization does not provide the proper supervision outlined below. If the Pool Manager in charge allows admittance without a reservation, you will be charged the regular rate for all admitted, including staff. The organization shall provide proper supervision in and out of the pool to ensure the protection of persons and property. Lifeguards are there to enforce facility rules, not to supervise children.

• • The organization will restrict all participants to authorized areas only.
  • There shall be present at all times: one (1) adult, 18 years or older, per every five (5) children six (6) years and above, present in the Lap Pool.
  • If the children are five (5) years and younger, use of the pools is limited to:
    • one (1) staff member per five (5) children plus one (1) additional staff member to monitor any children not in the pool while using the Wading Pool
      • OR –
    • one (1) staff member per every four (4) children in the Lap Pool, plus one (1) additional staff member available to monitor children not in the pool. The supervisor watching the children in the pool must be in the water and within one arm’s length of all four children they are supervising.
  • No shows and cancellations within 48 hours of scheduled group visit will forfeit their deposit. (Weather Cancellations excluded)

• Organizations that show up without appropriate supervision will be denied entry and will forfeit their deposit.
