  • Lycra/Spandex/Elastane
  • Polyamide
  • PBT and similar chlorine-resistant swimwear fabrics
• Street clothing is not permitted in the pool, including jeans, denim, sweatpants, sweatshirts, hoodies, ordinary T-shirts, cotton leggings, cargo shorts, basketball shorts, pajamas, or other clothing not designed for swimming.
• Cotton and other highly absorbent everyday fabrics are not permitted as swim attire. These materials retain water, lint, detergents, body products, and other contaminants and are not designed for pool use.

• Swim-specific undergarments are permitted. Swim briefs, swim bras/tops, swim liners, and other garments specifically manufactured for aquatic use may be worn.
• Swim diapers are required for individuals who are not toilet trained or who require incontinence protection. Regular disposable or cloth diapers are not permitted in the pool. Swim diapers should be used with appropriate swimwear as required by facility policy.
• Modest swimwear and additional body coverage are welcome provided the garments are specifically designed for aquatic use. This may include swim leggings, long-sleeved rash guards, swim dresses, modest swimsuits, and swim hijabs.
• Clothing that has been worn for ordinary daily activities immediately before swimming should not be used as swim attire, even if the fabric is similar to swimwear material.
• Lifeguards and facility staff may ask a swimmer to change before entering the pool when clothing does not meet the facility's swim-attire requirements.

Hair Requirements

• Hair must be secured before entering the pool whenever its length allows it to be tied back.
• Long hair must be secured in a bun or braid(s) whenever practical to keep loose hair contained while swimming.
• Medium-length hair should be secured in a ponytail, braid, or bun whenever possible.
• Hair ties and other securing devices must be appropriate for aquatic use and may not create a safety hazard.
• Swim caps are encouraged, particularly for swimmers with long or thick hair, but are not required unless specified for a particular program.
• Hair should not be left loose when it is long enough to be reasonably secured.

Required Pre-Swim Shower

• Every swimmer must shower before entering the pool. This applies each time a participant arrives to swim.
• Swimmers must thoroughly wet their body and hair before entering the water.
• Long or thick hair must be thoroughly saturated with clean shower water before entering the pool, even when it will be covered by a swim cap.
• The pre-swim shower should remove or reduce sweat, dirt and excess body products before entering the water.
• Whenever possible, swimmers should avoid entering the pool with excessive amounts of lotion, body oil, perfume, cosmetics, hair products, or other personal-care products.
• A swimsuit should be put on before or during the pre-swim shower as appropriate for the facility's changing and shower areas.

Swim Diapers

• Swim diapers are required for all swimmers who are not fully toilet trained or who require incontinence protection.
• Regular disposable diapers are not permitted in the pool because they are not designed for aquatic use.
• Swimmers requiring a swim diaper must wear a properly fitted disposable or reusable swim diaper designed specifically for swimming.
• A swim diaper must be worn under a swimsuit or swim bottoms.
• Swim diapers must fit snugly around the waist and legs to help contain solid waste.
• Swim diapers are not waterproof and do not prevent urine or microorganisms from entering the pool. They are primarily intended to help contain solid waste.

• Swim diapers may only be changed in designated changing areas. Diaper changing is not permitted on the pool deck, tables, benches, or other public surfaces.

• After changing a diaper, the parent/caregiver must thoroughly wash their hands before returning to the pool.
• If a swimmer has diarrhea or has recently experienced diarrhea, they must not enter the pool, even when wearing a swim diaper.

These requirements help reduce the risk of fecal contamination and protect the health of all pool users. Swim diapers are an additional containment measure and do not replace appropriate hygiene, restroom breaks, or active caregiver supervision.

Why These Rules Matter

Proper swim attire, secured hair, and pre-swim showers are required to help maintain a clean, safe, and properly functioning aquatic facility. Everyday clothing, loose hair, detergents, oils, lotions, cosmetics, sweat, and other contaminants can increase the demand on pool disinfectants and filtration systems and contribute to water-quality and maintenance problems.

These requirements help protect water quality, filtration and circulation equipment, hygienic pool conditions, and consistent water chemistry for everyone using the facility.

All swimmers are expected to arrive in proper swim attire, secure their hair, shower thoroughly, and wet their hair and body before entering the pool. Facility staff may delay pool entry until these requirements are met.
