Aquatics

Lifeguards are on duty during posted hours only. Schedules are available at the front desk, online, or through the Dakotah! Sport and Fitness app (downloadable through the Apple or Google app store) and are subject to change seasonally. Open swim is open to all members and guests.

Children ages 9-13 must pass a swim test in order to be unaccompanied by an adult. Otherwise, an adult must be on the deck. Children 8 and under must be accompanied by an adult in the water at all times.

For safety reasons, children under 13 years old are not allowed in the whirlpool. Lap swim is reserved for those who are nonstop lap swimming. Juniors must be at least 14 years old to participate in lap swimming. When a lifeguard is not present, lap swim is adults-only.

A variety of swim lessons for ages 6 months and up is available throughout the year. Private swimming lessons are also available (call 952.496.6891 for more information).

For the safety of our swimmers and lifeguards, all swimmers must be dressed in proper swimwear. No cutoffs, undergarments, T-shirts, cover-ups, or any other clothing is allowed because:

• The fibers from these types of clothing clog pool filter baskets.
• The dyes and detergents used in these types of clothing change the pH of the water, creating an unsanitary swimming environment.
• Undergarments contain body fluids and detergent residue that can cause an unsanitary swimming environment.

All incontinent swimmers (adults and children) must wear swim diapers/non-biodegradable diapers made for swimming as well as proper swimwear. No exceptions.

We allow Coast Guard-approved personal flotation devices only. No exceptions. Approved lifejackets are available for your use in the pool area.
