Guests can bring in goggles, but they have to wash them before going into the pool. Snorkel masks are not allowed.

Before entering the Elmen Center pool, everyone must take a quick shower. During this time, the lifeguard(s) will briefly explain the pool rules.

Pool parties are not scheduled when the Elmen Center is closed with the exception of Fall, Christmas, Easter or Spring Breaks, but scheduling conflicts are considered first.
