WMSC “Swim Party” Rules
At WMSC, the safety of our members and their guests is our top priority. Because many of your party guests may be unfamiliar to our club, a WMSC staff member is required to provide a brief “Safety Overview” of the facility rules with your group prior to the start of your party. Your assistance in gathering your guests to hear the overview and helping with the enforcement of these rules during the party would be greatly appreciated.
