All changes to the normal schedule for holidays, guest days, or in-service trainings, will be posted.

Water Exercise Classes: Lane lines will be moved by the lifeguard based on the scheduled allotment before class starts.

Allotments are done on a quarterly basis using attendance averages. Other space in the pool is allotted for fitness swimming and lessons.
