FOR SAFETY'S SAKE, PLEASE REVIEW OUR RULES & EXPECTATIONS

Philadelphia Quarry Club Policies and Rules

Each year, the Quarry's largest single expense is insurance coverage. Without this coverage, we couldn't operate. As a member, you can help keep us swimming safely by observing the following non-negotiables:

The Philadelphia Quarry DOES NOT PROVIDE LIFEGUARDS.

2. The Quarry is a natural body of dark water that poses hazards not associated with a standard swimming pool. The water's depth also requires our awareness and respect. All persons using the Club do so at their own risk.

3. Infants under 12 months of age are not allowed on the lower stone deck or in the water.

4. Novice swimmers are required to wear a U.S. Coast Guard Approved Life Jacket when on the lower stone deck or in the water. Inflatable devices, swimmies, bubbles, noodles, bathing suits with flotation inserts, etc. don't qualify. The Quarry does not supply life jackets, so we suggest purchasing one before the season begins. An adult who is a strong swimmer must supervise and be responsible for any novice or non-swimmer. This adult must be in the water or remain on the lower stone deck in close proximity. Non-swimmers may not go in the water.

5. Children under 14 years of age must be supervised by an adult member, age 18 or older, while on Quarry Club grounds. Attendants are not permitted to babysit or watch children.

6. Please sign in with the attendant first-thing when you arrive. Sign-in is required for all members and their guests. All guests are required to sign a release before entering the water. Failure to do so forfeits any guest’s ability to enter the water.

7. Dogs or other pets are not allowed on Club grounds. And please don't leave them in your car, ever. We love dogs, too.

8. Alcohol and deep water do not mix. Please do not take alcoholic beverages onto the lower deck or into the water. The legal drinking age is 21, even on club grounds, no exceptions.

9. We ask all members and visitors to cooperate with the Quarry rules at all times and be reminded of the dangers associated with swimming at the Philadelphia Quarry.
