Lifejackets are mandatory for non-swimmers in the main pools at all locations (this policy does not include the wading pool at Madison). The swim test will be administered to assess swimming ability and the classification of non-swimmers is at the lifeguard's discretion. Facility supplied life jackets are available on a first come first serve basis. For any further details or concerns please see the pool manager.
The Fargo Park District provides lifeguards to ensure that all patrons are safe while swimming. Daycares are asked to provide supervisors to help enforce pool rules to the children they bring. The Fargo Park District follows the Cass County Health Department daycare mandated child to adult ratios: 10 to 1 ratio for all school-age children (ages 5 and older) and 7 to 1 ratio if at least one child is younger than school age (age 5).
