SWIM TESTS
Safety is our number one priority at Seven Hills. Parents should be on the premises with children under age 12 at all times, amd only strong swimmers ages 12 or older can be left at the pool without direct adult supervision. Babysitters ages 16 or older may actively supervise in place of a parent or guardian. A parent or guardian must actively supervise and be within arm's reach of non-swimmers of ALL ages and especially children ages 5 and under at the pool at ALL TIMES. Children ages 5 or younger may only be in the main pool with an adult in arms reach, even when a flotation device is used.
Swim tests
Who needs to take a swim test?
Swimmers between ages 5 and 12 MUST complete a swim test prior to participating in any pool activity.
To pass a swim test, swimmers must be able to:
Swim from one end of the pool to the other (25 meters) without assistance or stopping
Tread water for 1 minute in the deep end of the pool
Jump off a diving board and swim to the side of the pool with no assistance
Jump into the pool and push off the bottom
Why should my child take a swim test?
Passing a swim test shows water proficiency and means that the youngest swimmers may be ready to use the diving boards and swim in the diving well.
Do I still have to watch my child if they have passed a swim test?
All parents should be extra vigilant in watching their children, even those that have passed a swim test.
How do I take a swim test?
Swim tests are administered during rest periods (the first 10 minutes of each hour). If you would like your child to take a swim test, please notify the manager on duty when you arrive at the club. Swim tests will be given in groups.
In a hurry? You may fill out and print the swim test registration form ahead of time by clicking here, and bringing it with you when you arrive at the club. Forms are also available at the clubhouse front desk.
