SaltPure refers to the method used for sanitizing the pool. Instead of conventional chlorine methods, the new system uses ORDINARY SALT! As the salted water passes through the filtration system it also passes through a titanium cell that separates the salt into its chemical components, sodium and hypochlorite. Our pool is sparkling clean and gentler on the skin, eyes, hair and respiratory system. Enjoy! GOOD NEWS FOR FAMILIES! Pool hours have been expanded for children age 8-16. Sign up at the Member Service Desk.
Children age 8-16 may use the pool during family swim times (shaded on the print schedule) without a parent being present. IAC pool attendant will provide supervision. Both the child and parent must sign a new Superkids form to qualify for the program. This increases the hours for this age group to use the pool, allowing the parents to work out too.
Age infant to 8: Parent must accompany child in the pool and provide continuous supervision for the child, even if an IAC staff person is present.
Please note: Failure to follow safety regulations may result in suspension or termination of child's pool privileges. Children who have not met our criteria must be supervised by a parent at all times.
A copy of our pool policies is available at the Member Service Desk. |
