Annual Christmas Party
​Food Drive

Note: The LCAC food drive occurs before our event.
This year, Lake Trail Nation will NOT be collecting Non-perishable food items for the LCAC December food drive.  If possible please concentrate on the Items of most need, which include Peanut Butter, canned fruit, soup, and tuna. Boxes will be in the lobby to accept your donations to this worthy cause that benefits our neighbors in need right here in Lakewood.

Pool Rules
The rules aren't on the YMCA website.  Here is a list, it's pretty extensive...

Since this is considered a "special event", the ratio of 15 Swimmers to each lifeguard will be enforced.  There are 2 Lifeguards scheduled in addition to one pool supervisor (max – 30 children at one time).

The ramp and basin will be open and the lap lanes will be used only for swim tests, those who pass will not have to wear the life vest. 

SWIM SAFELY
  1. The YMCA may test the swimming competency of any swimmer.
  2. Non-swimmers of any age are not permitted in the deep end of the pool.
  3. No diving. Diving is not permitted except in supervised YMCA programs. Enter the water feet first and facing forward.
  4. All children ages 12 & under who want to swim in the deep end must pass a swimming skills assessment administered by a YMCA lifeguard. 
  5. Breath holding activities are not permitted in any YMCA pools.
  6. The lifeguard has full authority over the pool and their word is FINAL

WATCH YOUR KIDS
  1. Parents are responsible for their children at all times.
  2. Children ages 12 & under must be actively supervised by an adult in the pool area.
  3. Children ages 12 & under who want to swim in the deep end of the pool must participate in a swimming skills assessment. They will be provided a green (swimmer) or red (non-swimmer) wristband for that day.
  4. Non-swimmers, age 12 & under who do not take or pass the swim assessment must be accompanied in the water by an adult 18 years or older and be within arm’s reach of that adult.
  5. Non-swimmers that do not meet the height requirement must wear a YMCA provided, US Coast Guard approved life vest and remain in the shallow end of the pool (basin and ramp).

Our policy on Swim Tests:

The YMCA of Greater Cleveland is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable pool experience for all. All children 12 and under must participate in a swimming skills assessment and will be provided a green or red swim band for that day. These bands assist our certified lifeguards in keeping all our swimmers safe. Lifeguards will gladly conduct one swim assessment per child per day. The YMCA reserves the right to test all swimmers regardless of age.

TEST

PLUNGE: Swimmer jumps in designated area of water that is over their head and easily returns to the surface;  TREAD: Swimmer must tread water for a minimum of 30 seconds while keeping their ears and face above water;  SWIM: Swimmer continues to swim the entire length of the pool (20-50 yards depending on pool size and lifeguard discretion) unassisted and without resting.

Swimmer maintains a horizontal body position.

MARK: Swimmers that pass the assessment will be provided with a green swim band and will be given access to all areas of the pool. Non-swimmers who do not take or pass the swim assessment will be provided with a red wrist band and limited to the shallow end only.
  • Non-swimmers ages 12 years or younger must be accompanied in the swimming pool by and adult 18 years or older, within arm’s reach.
  • Non-swimmers who do not meet height requirements must wear a YMCA provided, U.S. Coast Guard approved life vest • One adult can be responsible for no more than 3 non-swimmers during open swim.

PROTECT
Non-Swimmers must participate in a vest check conducted by the lifeguard. The top of the vest check pole must be at or below the child’s nipple line or the child must be placed in a YMCA provided, U.S. Coast Guard approved life vest and remain in the shallow end of the pool
