Children who are not toilet trained must wear a swim diapers 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.
