Can my child wear water wings or bring pool toys?

No motorized toys at any time. Inflatable toys, masks and fins are ONLY allowed during Passholder Swim. U.S. Coast Guard approved personal flotation devices (PFDs) are allowed. Water wings and other non-Coast Guard approved PFDs are prohibited. Children wearing PFDs must remain within arm’s length of their guardian.

Is the pool heated?

The pool is heated by the environment as well as a boiler. Staff strives to keep to water at 78o, as the optimal temperature for both lap swimmers and recreational swimmers. The temperature of the water varies based on the environmental conditions.

What happens when pool capacity is reached?

Once the posted pool capacity is reached, staff will allow one person to enter for every one person that leaves in order to maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for all of our guests. Both Rehm and Ridgeland Pools have a counting system to keep track of attendance. Rehm’s system counts both at the front entrance and the exit by the diving well to ensure proper count.

When are the slides, diving boards, lily pads, current channel, and wading pool open?

All attractions are open during all open swim times. These attractions are not open during lap swims or swim lessons. Please note: The activity pool at Rehm is under construction. Please keep an eye on the Park District website, social media, and enewsletters for announcements regarding the grand reopening.

The wading pool at Rehm is open 1:00-6:00P.

Attractions may close due to low attendance, poor weather, or low staffing levels.
