Swim Rules

Swim stickers are no longer used at Tahoe Donner Aquatic Facilities. Children 12 and under must be under direct supervision by a parent or guardian at all times.

Trout Creek Rec Center has updated its youth access policy, allowing members ages 13-17 to enjoy all areas of the facility— including pools and spa—without adult supervision once they have attended a mandatory gym orientation and a new online waiver is completed and signed by a parent or guardian. This change replaces the previous gym sticker program, making it easier for teens to stay active and independent at Trout Creek. The Youth Access Waiver can be filled out conveniently online or on the tablet available at the Rec Center front desk. To schedule an orientation, email troutcreek@tahoedonner.com.

Swim tests may still be administered by request by a certified lifeguard. Please email aquatics@troutcreek.com if proof of a swim test is needed for any official purposes.
