The Quarry at Carrigans Farm
Lifeguards are on duty during open swim. Additionally, all persons entering the water must wear a life vest unless they have taken and passed our swim test and a person must be twelve years old or older to take the swim test. Children ages eleven and under are required to wear a life jacket at all times while swimming in the quarry. Life jackets are provided or you may bring your own. Children that are under four years old or weigh less than thirty pounds are not advised to swim in the quarry. Our smallest life jackets are designed for children weighing thirty pounds or more.
Persons ages twelve and above (including adults) are eligible to take the swim test. The swim test assesses endurance, treading, quality of stroke, and level of comfort in the water, among other attributes. The swim test is graded by lifeguards and their decision is final. Re-testing is not permitted on the same day; however, if someone does not pass, they may re-test on a subsequent day. When taking the swim test, please demonstrate your best swimming. A grade of PASS on the swim test means that person may elect to swim without a life jacket in the quarry. Those persons who do not want to take the swim test, or who do not pass the swim test, will have to wear a life jacket at all times while swimming in the quarry. The swim test includes, but is not limited to, jumping into the quarry, swimming, and treading water. Regardless of performance on the swim test, all swimming remains at your own risk. All swimming is at your own risk. The water is 25 feet deep.
