| In keeping with the promotion of health
and the well being of our members and guests of the YMCA, the Nishna
Valley Family YMCA Board of Directors has passed the following policy
pertaining to smoking on YMCA leased, managed, or owned property. |
| |
Policy: |
| |
As of July 4, 2007 there will be
no smoking, use of smoke-less tobacco, or consumption of
alcoholic beverages on property that is owned or leased by the
Nishna Valley Family YMCA. This policy will also be
encouraged at other Youth program sites where and when the YMCA
is operating a YMCA program. This policy aligns with the
YMCA theme of building strong kids, strong families, and strong
communities. |
|
| |
|
AGE/GRADE POLICIES:
|
- Youth in 2nd grade and under must be
in childwatch or accompanied by an individual 14 years or older (must be
in same room and level) or be in a supervised program while at the
YMCA, including the pool.
|
- Youth in 7th grade and older are
allowed to use the fitness area including the track and weight
equipment. 7th and 8th graders must complete a weight room
orientation prior to use.
|
- Youth in grades 4-6 may use the track
with staff approval and badge identification. Children in 3rd
grade and below may use the track only with an individual (14+), unless
children are in a YMCA program, and must be within arms length of
the individual.
|
- Whirlpool users must be 16 years old
or older and follow the posted rules.
|
- Water slide users must be 48 inches
or taller or be able to swim the length of the pool unassisted.
Adults may not ride down the slide with children or catch them at
the bottom.
|
- The YMCA Board with encouragement
from the YMCA of the USA and the national leader in aquatic safety
has voted to include the following addition to our age/grade policy.
Those of you who have children 2nd grade and under who use the pool
please pay special attention: Youth is 2nd grade and under who
want to use the pool must be accompanied in the water by an
individual 14 years or older and the child must be within reasonable
distance so the caregiver can maintain constant visual supervision
and be able to provide immediate support if needed. (The
lifeguard and YMCA staff have final say when there is a question on
safety and what is a reasonable distance.
|
| |
Exception 1: if a child is
able to pass the deep water swim test they may be in the water
alone, however the responsible individual must remain on the
deck and keep a constant watchful eye on them. |
|
| |
Exception 2: a child 2nd
grade or under who cannot pass the deep water test can be
supervised by an individual 14 years or older from the deck as
long as the child is wearing a Coast Guard approved life jacket
which is available in the pool area. The responsible adult
must remain on the deck and keep a constant watchful eye on
them. |
|
| |
Swim groups such as childcare
providers, mothers with several children, schools, camps, etc.
will follow the following recommended guidelines for child to
staff ratios. These ratios are guidelines staff and
parents should use to carry out due diligence in ensuring the
safety of all children. Situations, ages and swim
abilities are huge variables so aquatic and YMCA staff may relax
or strengthen these ratios as the situation dictates and to
ensure swimmer safety. |
|
| |
ages 0-3 |
2 children : 1 staff/caregiver |
| |
ages 3-5 |
6 children : 1 staff/caregiver |
| |
ages 6 up to 2nd
grade |
10 children : 1 staff/caregiver |
|
| |
Caregivers, teachers, etc.
renting the pool will be reminded and sign the rental agreement
stating that they are responsible for covering these ratios and
they are responsible for supervision and discipline of their
children. Lifeguards are there to enforce rules and
prevent and respond to emergencies, not supervise children. |
|
|
WEIGHT ROOM POLICIES:

- All free weights, etc. should be
picked up when finished.
