Fayson Lakes Deep Water Swim Test:

Anyone under 14 years of age must pass this two-part test if they wish to go to the deep-water docks. Children ages 8 and under are required to retake the dock test every summer.

Deep water swim test:

Swim to the dock using either front crawl or breast stroke.

Tread water for 1 minute

Swim back from the dock without stopping, using front crawl or breast stroke.

The administering lifeguard and/or beach leadership staff will evaluate each swimmer’s performance to determine whether they pass or fail.  Completion of the test does not automatically guarantee a passing result.  Swimmers must demonstrate both adequate swimming competency and sufficient stamina.

Diving is prohibited from the beach.  All diving is banned in any area with less than 5 feet of water.

Prolonged underwater swimming and breath holding games are prohibited.

Refrain from digging deep holes in the sand.  Maximum depth should be 12-18 inches and holes should be filled in when you are done.
