Updated Aquatic Safety Plan and Policy at Palm Island Family Aquatic Park Goes Into Effect Starting May 27, 2023

The City of Casa Grande Community Services Department’s Recreation Division is implementing an updated Aquatics Safety Plan and Policy that will go into effect on May 27, 2023. This updated policy includes changes that protect unaccompanied minors aged 12 and under.

The new policy states:

Children 12 and under and non-skilled swimmers must be accompanied, and actively supervised, by an adult or teenager (16 years or older) at all times.

The goal of updating the policy is to create a safe aquatics experience and to minimize the number of unsupervised youths in the facility. To ensure the safest aquatics experience and atmosphere possible, aquatic facilities rely on “Three Levels of Aquatics Supervision”.

Level One: Direct supervision of swimmers by people within their group or party. This level includes adults and guardians monitoring closely from the deck and keeping non-skilled swimmers within arm’s reach.
Level Two: Lifeguard supervision, where aquatics staff actively monitor areas above and below the water.
Level Three: Patron supervision, involves staying alert to other swimmers in the general area and immediately alerting staff should any situation arise.

With aquatics staff, parents/guardians, and patrons all working together, this will ensure an exceptional and safe swim experience.
