By prioritizing water safety through ongoing training, comprehensive safety protocols and proactive measures, we can ensure a safe, secure and enjoyable swim experience for all.
NAC Swim Policy: All children age 12 or younger are required to pass a swim test to swim on their own in our pools.
- To pass the swim test, you must swim the entire width of the Escape Resort family pool (50 ft.) without touching the bottom or side of the pool.
- After passing the swim test, you will be given a designated colored NAC swim band to be worn at all times in the indoor pool and at the resort.
- Any child (of any age) who does not pass the swim test will be required to wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved life vest OR stay in the shallow section of the pool only, within arms reach of a parent or guardian.
