We are vigilant about the safety and security of all guests. Ellis and Associates Licensed lifeguards staff CoCo Key Water Resort at all times during normal operating hours. Safety rules are posted at each pool and attraction. Nevertheless, we urge parents to teach their children about water safety prior to visiting the water resort. Please be sure non-swimmers or weak swimmers wear USCGA approved life vests. Complimentary life vests are available at CoCo Key as well on a first-come, first-served basis. The exercise pool within the Sheraton Chicago Northwest is not staffed with lifeguards and children in the exercise pool must be accompanied by an adult and no person may swim alone.
