Weight Limits
Our equipment is valuable and so are you. We have established a weight limit on our Slides and Diving Boards. (250 lbs) This is for your protection. Your safety is our primary concern. We ask that you please be honest and abide by our limit. If we feel that your judgement is creating a safety issue we will discuss your options in person. However, if the warning is not abided by, then we will ask you to leave the property without a refund.
Swim Diapers
We require all children 3 years old and under to wear a swim diaper. We understand that many have been potty trained at this age. However, we are required by law to shut down the entire pool for the day if an accident occurs. Unfortunately the most likely occurrence is the age range 0-3 years while in the water.
Please know that it is not our intention to embarrass these little ones or their families, only to allow your family to swim longer and allow for the most out of your day.
If no swim diaper is used, you will be given a warning. If the issue is not resolved you will be asked to exit the pool. Then you will be asked to leave the property with no refund.
You have the option of bringing your own swim-able diaper or cloth diaper (designed for the water). We also offer different sizes in the office for $1.00

The pool may close at any time due to weather or other concerns without warning. This can include: Heat, Rain, Storms, Cold and the pool not working correctly etc.

By entering the pool area when clouds are present, and the forecast calls for storms, please be are aware of our “Bad Weather Alerts.”
Note: No refunds will be given if the rain is slight. However, we will clear the pool out for excessive rain and storms. Also, if the temperature is under 75 degrees F or at or above 104 degrees F the pool will remain closed. (This policy is due to having no air conditioning on the property. When temperatures go above 104 degrees the deck radiates by 10 degrees. Because of this effect our staff have no place to cool down and have an accelerated risk of heat stroke. We thank you for your understanding.)
Pool closing for Poop: If someone has a bowel movement in the pool, we will clear everyone out of the water and vacuum. It requires 30 minutes from time of chemical shock to re-open the pool. We will announce when it is safe. (notify staff immediately if you see or smell an issue)
Pool Closing for Temperature or other issues: If the temperature is below 75 degrees the pool will remain closed. Occasionally there maybe other issues that require the pool to be shut down for an amount of time. Our goal is to post a notification on the front door and on the FB page. Please note we are human and occasionally can't make that happen. If not and the door is locked, please look on our FB page or call us at 918-622-7178 to leave a message or use our Contact page. Thank you.
If you desire a refund and you were in the pool area for less than 1 hour we will offer a rain check or a refund at the discretion of the office staff.
Pool closing for Vomit: You will be asked to clear out of the water. We will then announce our pool will be closing for the remainder of the day. Because of Oklahoma Law, we are unable to remain open. We are required to put chemicals in the pool to keep the pool clean. We would like to encourage everyone to be careful after eating. If a person becomes choked on water, they become more prone to vomiting. If this occurs our guests will no longer be able to enjoy the rest of the day at the pool.
