DEEP-END SWIM TEST POLICY

The JCC is committed to implementing consistent prevention efforts to ensure that all members and guests who swim in our pools are safe. To that end, according to industry and insurance standards, all swimmers under the age of 15 wishing to swim in the deep end or use the diving boards will be tested to evaluate minimum swimming abilities, endurance, and breath control.

• Deep-End testing will be conducted during rest periods or at the availability of a Lifeguard/Supervisor not on surveillance duty.
• Parents or caregivers (18+) must be present when the test is conducted for their child. Parents and caregivers may not provide coaching to the swimmer during the swim test.
• A trained Lifeguard or Supervisor will administer the test and make a determination of the ability of the swimmer to pass each component of the test in a competent manner.
• Swimmers must pass each portion of the test in sequential order and without pause between each part. A GREEN WRISTBAND will be issued after they pass the test and must be visibly worn for their
  entire visit. The swimmer should ask for a new band each time they visit the pool.
• A passing test result is valid for 1-year; all test results are reset at the start of each Summer.
• Swimming abilities can change due to several factors. Any swimmer may be required to re-test on any given day if a Lifeguard or Supervisor deems it necessary for safety reasons.
• Children may only attempt the test once per day and are welcome to try again on their next visit to the JCC if they are unsuccessful in their attempt.
• The JCC runs a robust year-round American Red Cross Learn-To-Swim program. Enroll today to help your child work towards achieving water competency.

GREEN BAND Swim Test Criteria:

Part A – SWIM

Swimmers must enter the water in the shallow end, and swim ONE length of the pool. To pass this part, the swimmer must continuously be using the front crawl or breaststroke, with adequate breath control. Underwater swimming, “doggie paddling”, or backstroke are not permitted.The swimmer may not stop, touch the wall/lane line, or floor until this part of the test is complete.

Part B – JUMP & TREAD

Swimmers must jump into the deep end (fully submerging head), resurface, and effectively tread water using arms and legs for ONE minute. The swimmers must keep their face and mouth out of the water for the entire minute of treading.

Part C – EXIT INDEPENDENTLY

Swimmers must reorientate themselves to an exit point (ladder or side of pool) and exit independently without the help of a parent, care provider, or the testing staff member.
