As we continue to experience ongoing issues with our Water Park HVAC system, during periods of extreme indoor heat, we may need to implement modified operations in our indoor Water Park, including temporarily turning off certain water features, closing the water slide, and, if necessary, temporarily closing the Water Park to ensure the comfort and safety of our members and guests.
Please know that our team is actively working toward a permanent repair of the system and remains committed to minimizing disruptions whenever possible. We appreciate your patience, understanding, and flexibility as we navigate this situation. Any operational changes will be communicated as early as possible through the Kroc Connect App, text, and our social media channels. For up-to-date Water Park hours before your visit, please visit the Kroc Connect App under ‘Current Facility Status’.
The Camden Kroc Center is a year-round facility. We offer many levels of swim lessons for everyone who wants to learn to swim, from Pre-School through Adult.

There will be no refunds after completion of week 1. There are no makeups for missed classes unless cancelled by the Kroc Center.

Please take a couple of minutes to review our Family Open Swim rules and guidelines before joining our lifeguards on deck. Reviewing these rules helps you and Kroc Staff maintain a safe space in and around the water.
Running is not permitted: Please always remind your children to walk to, from, and around the pool; walking is the best way to prevent slips, trips, or falls.
All swim types and ages welcomed: Family Open Swim aims to be a safe and enjoyable space for everyone. Please use this time for recreational swimming, not vigorous exercise or lap swimming.
Age Guidelines Must Be Followed: Children under 6 must be accompanied by an adult in the water. If the guardian cannot enter the water for any reason, they must remain at the pool edge within arm’s reach of the child.
Life jackets are allowed: Life jackets must fit snugly and not be used as toys. There's no swim test for the Water Park; guests must stand with their head and shoulders above the water line, have a strong swimming ability, or wear a Coast Guard-approved life jacket. An adult must closely supervise anyone wearing a flotation device.
No Diving in the pool headfirst: The Water Park Pool is not deep enough for safe headfirst diving. During Open Swim, children can jump only in designated areas, which are monitored by lifeguards.
Water Toy Usage: You are welcome to bring in your own small plastic toys.Toys are at the lifeguards' discretion.
No Kickboards, Snorkels, or Fins: Due to the increased volume of people in the pool during family open swim and water park hours, these items offer up a potential hazard we would like to avoid.
Designated Jumping Area Rules: During Open Swim, children can jump in the designated areas. Forward jumps or cannonballs only, no spins, flips, flops, or backward. Lifeguards are responsible for enforcing rules in these areas.
Horseplay is not permitted: Horseplay like chicken fights, excessive splashing, pushing, riding on backs/shoulders, dunking underwater, and other behaviors the lifeguards deem unsafe is prohibited.
Have a blast at Family Open Swim: We want the community to have fun; we want your kiddos to love the water and learn how to interact safely while having a blast! Please never hesitate to ask a question of the aquatic leads on duty if you have one. Thank you for keeping an eye on your kids and enjoying the community blessing of The Kroc Center!
