Only snug-fitting rubber pants and swim diaper are appropriate. The lifeguard or gate attendant may routinely and randomly request that a parent show that their child is wearing rubber pants and swim diaper inside the fenced-in pool area. Failure to comply with such a request or failure to wear appropriate rubber pants shall result in the parent and child being removed from the pool area.
