Waterfront

All campers are expected to partake in instructional swim every day unless they have written permission from home. Campers are constantly supervised during all swim times by American Red Cross or YMCA Certified Lifeguards and the YMCA Camp Counselors.

Swim tests are given on the first day of camp each session to determine your child’s swimming ability. Your child will then take part in instructional swim and recreational swim based on his or her abilities within marked boundaries for each level.

YMCA Camp Lowe operates a “buddy system” as an additional safety precaution on the waterfront. The counselors will assign your child to a child of similar swim ability in the same group. They are to alert the nearest staff person should a child need assistance. In addition, the lifeguards clear the water every fifteen minutes for counselors to double-check swim buddies.
