Red bands are restricted to shallow water and the splash pad and
require adult reach supervision in the water at all times. Ages 7 and
under require reach supervision from an adult in the water regardless
of band color. Only swimmers 8-12 years old who have passed the
green band swim test are permitted in all areas of the pool without

at Butler Y or Rose Y do not have to retest. Please inquire at the
