Opening The Well to free swim is at the discretion of the lifeguard on duty in The Well.
Only one person is allowed on the diving board or slide at any time.
Excessive bouncing on the board is prohibited.
Retrieving objects from the bottom of the diving well is permitted only with the permission of the pool lifeguards.
Once in the pool, make your way directly to the nearest ladder.
Previous diver/slider must be at the ladder before next turn is taken.
