Birthday Parties
Thank you for your interest in booking a private party with us! The Pacific Flow Crew is excited to host you and your group for a special day in our unique pool setting surrounded by parks, open space, and playgrounds. Below is some basic information to help you plan your event with us.



Venue
Siltanen Pool
- It is a 20’x40’ residential-style pool ranging in depth from 2.5’ to 4’
- Heated to 90 degrees and is often a few degrees warmer on warm afternoons
- We have two on-site rinse-off showers, 6 circular tables plus umbrellas, and 30 chairs.
- Additional 6’ rectangular tables and tablecloths are available upon request
- Bathrooms are in the Siltanen Park about 50 yards across the grassy area
- Our viewing deck and pool deck have limited space, but you’re welcome to bring food, drinks, coolers, decorations, etc as long as there is no glass, no distilled spirits, and no litter or food end up in the pool.
Venue
Use of siltanen Park
- Most of our parties use the adjacent Siltanen Park picnic area as the grass, trees, and picnic tables allow for a cool and comfortable environment for food, presents, and festivities either simultaneously during their swim time, or before or after their swim time. Please keep in mind that the picnic area is first-come-first-served and Pacific Flow Swim School is not authorized to reserve any portion of the park.
- The gazebo area is also available for rent with the City of Scotts Valley
- Parking is on Vine Hill School Road across from the park. We are not authorized to permit vehicles to drive into the park to the picnic site/pool.
- For questions on anything Siltanen Park related, please contact City of Scotts Valley Parks and Recreation at 831.438.3251.


Schedule
The Week and Day of Your party
- We’ll send you an email to confirm your head count, give you a set of pool rules, and review options for getting waivers signed.
- The party fee includes up to 15 children and unlimited adults. Fee for additional children is $10 per child. We can work with you on an estimated head count and have you pay the balance on the day of your party
- Waivers can be signed two ways: digitally by going onto our Customer Portal and creating a simple account (no payment information is required), or on paper the day of the party.
- You may arrive 30 minutes prior to your party reservation time to walk the site, drop off items, etc.
- Please check in at the desk and tell us when your party has arrived, particularly the kids, so that our Guards can conduct a 60 second safety talk.
- Pacific Flow Swim School Lifeguards and Customer Experience Crew will be on-site the entire time to assist you with any set up or other needs you may have.

Policies and rules
Diaper Policy
Children under 3 and not potty trained must wear two swim diapers. Examples of options:
- Disposable swim diaper (e.g. Pampers Splashers, Huggies Little Swimmers) underneath a reusable swim diaper
- Shorts-style reusable swim diaper (e.g. Happy Nappy) over a speedostyle reusable swim diaper (e.g. Finis diaper)
- Reusable double-layer diaper (e.g. Happy Nappy Duo)
- Standard diapers are not acceptable. Reusable swim diapers like the above are available for purchase at the pool for $14-$28 depending on style.
Flotation Device Policy
Flotation devices should be limited to 1) non-inflatable swim aids (kickboards, pull buoys, etc) for swimmers practicing swimming skills and 2) US Coast Guard Approved lifejackets for children who need an extra layer of protection while still being supervised. No water wings, inflatables, innertubes, or large beach balls.
Pool Capacity
Pool capacity is 40 and will be enforced.
Parent/Guardian Responsiblities
Parents/Guardians are responsible for direct supervision of children, including in-water supervision of all children 3 and younger.
Lifeguard Rules
Guards will ask you about the swimming ability of the children who are not able to stand up in the 4’ section and give you some options:
- We can pull a lane line across the pool separating the 4’ section
- Non-swimmers may wear a US Coast Guard approved PFD
- We can conduct a Red Cross safety test for peace of mind knowing your littlest swimmers are competent in water over their heads
