Pool Etiquette and Facility Expectations

​Santa Rosa Junior College, Ridgway Swim Center, and Neptune Swimming have a wonderful working relationship, and we hope to keep it strong for years to come. As tenants at both facilities, we share space with classes, teams, and other community groups, so your cooperation is essential in helping us be respectful partners.

Below are important reminders for all families and athletes:

General Facility Expectations:

  • Parents and caregivers should remain:

    • On the upper deck of the outdoor pool at the JC
