What to Wear
Oklahoma City pools and family aquatic centers are family-friendly facilities. We ask that all guests be respectful toward others and not wear clothing that displays images or words that promote violence, sex, drugs, or hatred toward groups or individuals.
Prohibited Clothing
- Cotton clothing, including denim-cutoffs, cotton t-shirts, and similar street clothes. Cotton sheds fibers that clog the pool filter system, causing the water to cloud.
- Lingerie and underwear.
- Bathing wear that is not made of water-wicking material.
Recommendations
- Board shorts and swim trunks.
- Aqua shirts or water shirts.
- Standard bikinis, bathing suits
- Swim Diapers
- Modesty Swimwear
Modesty swimwear is welcome so long as it is made of a water-wicking material and meets industry safety guidelines. Jean skirts, cotton turtlenecks and similar garments are not allowed.
