KIDDIE POOL

1. Parents/Guardians are responsible for watching their children when using the kiddie pool. There will not be a guard at this pool.

2. Children who are not toilet-trained must wear diapers and/or rubber pants. Paper-type diapers, (Pampers, etc.), disintegrate in water and inhibit the efficiency of the filter system of the pools. Parents are advised not to use these and that use of rubber pants as a covering to cloth diapers are a smarter alternative to preventing the spread of pool contamination in the event of a childhood "accident."

Both the pools and the oceans will be guarded during those times when the facility are open for swimming. There is no swimming when a lifeguard is not present. Lifeguards will be distinguished by the red suits and outerwear of their uniform.

Members are asked not to distract a lifeguard from his/her duties unless their assistance is needed for professional reasons. Remember, guards are present at the club to keep swimmers safe; not for socializing, giving swimming instruction, or other activities not specifically set forth in their employee manual.

All members are to pay strict attention to the guards to follow their directions explicitly. A lifeguard's training is an ongoing process at Driftwood. If you happen to be present when a drill is taking place, please do not interfere. If an incident has occurred and a guard asks you to go to the office and let the manager know what has happened, please do so without delay. Your help at such times will be greatly appreciated. The rescue equipment placed around the pools and near the ocean are not toys and should not be touched or handled by members. No one is allowed on lifeguard stands except for guards on duty.

Lifeguards are certified in first aid and are the first line of defense when an accident or injury occurs. members are asked to cooperate with their instructions and assist if asked. Notify the front office as soon as possible when an accident or injury occurs. First aid supplies are located in boxes at each lifeguard stand, at the front office, and in the Fitness Center. Members are urged to stay calm in the event of an emergency and to notify club personnel immediately so we can arrange for immediate assistance.

Cramps: When a swimmer experiences a cramp, the first thing to remember, is not to panic. Relax as much as possible and begin to float if necessary. If it is at all possible, leave the water. Cramps can be relieved more comfortably on land.

To relieve a cramp, you need only to stretch the cramping muscle. The stretching should be slow and steady, without any bouncing movements. Hold the stretch for 30-60 seconds for the best results. If the cramp is severe, the pain may initially get worse for a few seconds as you begin to stretch the muscle. You must continue to stretch the muscle for the prescribed amount of time. If stretched only until the pain goes away, the cramp will usually return immediately upon using the muscle.

Eating Before Swimming: How soon you go into the water after eating should depend on several factors:

a. the amount of food consumed
b. the kind of food ingested
c. your general physical condition
d. your degree of fatigue
e. the water temperature
f. the vigor of your swimming activities

Recent studies have suggested that accidents have occurred when people have gone swimming after a large meal not from cramping, but from vomiting their meal and aspiring vomitus into their lungs.

After eating a large meal most people do not want to take part in a vigorous activity for an hour or more. This is nature's way of keeping your body quiet while digestion takes place. When you begin to swim, blood is taken away from your stomach to the muscles needed to maintain the swimming activity. This slows digestion.

For young children, it is best to establish a minimum time of rest following a meal before allowing them to go back into the water. If you feel uncomfortable in the water after eating, get out or slow down your activity. All swimmers should recognize and listen to that uncomfortable feeling as nature's warning that something isn't right.
