Pool information

Safety information

Swimming is healthy and fun and swimming pools are safe and healthy environments, but there are bugs and infections in the community that can be brought into the water and spread. It's important that you as a swimmer do your bit to stop these bugs and infections from getting into the pool.

Help yourself and others to stay healthy in and out of the water by following a few simple steps.

Before you swim in a pool:

If you have had diarrhoea/vomiting in the last two weeks don't go into the water.
If your child has had diarrhoea/vomiting in the last two weeks don't let them go into the water.
Take children to the toilet before they swim and wash hands after going to the toilet.
Where possible shower yourself and your children before you put togs on.
Babies are required to wear either swim nappies (Little Swimmers) or eenies, these can be purchased at reception. Cloth and disposable nappies are prohibited, as they become heavy or fall apart in the water.

Under fives
One adult (16 years or over) must accompany up to two preschoolers in the pool at all times. Preschoolers must remain within arms reach and be under constant supervision.

Under 8 years of age
Children between 5 and 8 years of age must be actively supervised by a caregiver 16 years or over.

Actively supervised means watching the child or children in your care at all times and being able to provide immediate assistance.

The final decision on safety rests with the lifeguard.
