The Summer of a Lifetime! Swimming at Northside Pool Each summer, we offer the summer campers the opportunity to swim at Northside pool. The pool is located just off West Avenue on the Northside of Wheaton. The pool complex has two different pools, a big pool and a kiddie pool. Our summer campers use the big pool. The big pool is L-Shaped and divided into two different sides. On one side, the pool ranges from 2‟6” to 3‟6” and on the other side the pool ranges from 4‟ to 12‟. The deep end of the big pool has a diving board and a tunnel slide. All children that wish to swim in the deep end of the big pool must pass a swim test with one of the lifeguards. This test requires that the children jump into the pool feet first and swim the length of the pool without touching the bottom. It is a Bright Horizons‟ Policy that children do not use the diving board or dive from the sides of the pool during our swim times; children may, however, use the pool slides. Floaties and lifejackets are allowed in the big pool, as long as the children are within arms distance from a teacher. The children are well supervised by 9 lifeguards, as well as, a teacher ratio of 1:8 for school-age children (grades 1-6). Any child exhibiting inappropriate behavior will be removed from the water. A child will not be forced to go into the water, go under the water or do anything that makes him or her feel uncomfortable at any time. A child will be removed from the water, if the child appears weak, tired, cold, etc. There is a refreshment stand at the pool. Children may bring money to purchase snacks at parent‟s discretion. The pool cost is included in the summer camp tuition fee. However, we would appreciate, if you would indicate on the permission slip, if your child currently has a pool pass. Please complete the attached permission slips, so that your child may participate in these swim days.
