Swimwear Guidelines
Ensuring our pool is family friendly is an important part of the Mount Hermon experience. All guests are asked to wear modest swimwear appropriate for a family pool. G–strings, speedos, revealing bikini tops & bottoms, etc. are not considered appropriate for this setting. Guests may be asked to cover portions of the body or underwear being exposed inappropriately.
Please use changing rooms for changing into swim attire (regardless of age) and wear suitable cover–ups when walking from your house to the pool area. Lifeguards exercise full authority on appropriate attire. If attire is not appropriate, registrants may be asked to wear a T–shirt, cover–up or to leave the pool area. Staff members are held to the same standards as guests.
