Swimming at Adventures In Camp
Adventures in Camp, LLC swims at the local neighborhood swimming pool (which is actually connected to our location). Swimming is fun but can also be dangerous and that is why we follow the rules provided by Columbia Association as well as our own rules. We like to have fun but SAFETY is our FIRST priority.
- Each session every camper needs to take a swim test given by the lifeguard on duty.
- The certified lifeguard will determine the camper’s swimming ability.
- Based on the camper’s ability level, the area where they can participate is determined.
- If the camper does not pass the test, they must wear a life vest.
- Adventures in Camp, LLC’s camp counselors are responsible for keeping track of their campers.
- A head count is to be done every 10 minutes.
- Every 45 minutes at “adult swim” all campers report to our area for water and a head count.
