Attention Parents/Assigned Guardian

Please be reminded that as you are entering SRWS facilities for programming and activities with your child, you are required to adhere to the supervision guidelines of Student Recreation & Wellness Services:

• Escort your child at all times when needing to utilize locker rooms, restrooms or family changing rooms.
• Do not direct or instruct your child to enter locker rooms, rest rooms or family changing rooms without your direct supervision and accompanying them into these areas.
• Use family changing rooms whenever possible, if you have more than one child, or if there is a gender difference between the child and locker room/restroom you would need to utilize.
• Keep constant eye contact of your child.
• Do not use the “buddy system” of sending two or more children into a locker room or restroom unsupervised by a parent or guardian responsible for the children while in SRWS facilities.
• If seated outside the pool area and your child needs to exit the pool area, immediately attend to your child before they exit the pool and accompany them into the family changing room, locker room or restroom to maintain supervision.

Failure to adhere to these guidelines can lead to removal from the facilities and loss of future facility use privileges.
