BAD WEATHER POLICY
In the event of inclement weather (i.e. thunder/lightning or unseasonably cold) the Brandywine YMCA will have information regarding facility closing or late opening. Please call the YMCA before coming out to swim (478-YMCA). For safety reasons, according to Health Department Regulations, during an electrical storm: the pool will close for 20 minutes after the last clap of thunder or the last bolt of lightning. This includes the pool deck. Due to anticipated extreme weather conditions, the facility may close early, at the discretion of the YMCA staff. If the pool is closed, the facility is also closed.
SLIDE RULES
One swimmer is permitted to go down the slide at a time. The swimmer waiting at the top of the slide needs to wait until the swimmer in the water reaches the ladder, before going down the slide. No one is permitted to use the slide without passing the water test. No one is permitted to use the blue slide with a flotation device on, or with a parent standing at the bottom of the slide. These rules are in place for you and your child’s safety.

Swim Test Policy
For the safety of our swimmers, we will be swim testing all children under the age of 14 years old. If you do not wish to take the swim test, you will be given a bracelet and asked to stay in the shallow end of the pool. If you wish to go down the slide you will need to be able to swim the length of the pool and tread water for 30 seconds and float for 30 seconds. We will be keeping records of our test, so you will only need to take the test one time. If you would like to retake the swim test to try and improve, we are happy to retest at any time.
