Making the most of your visit
Our pools have adopted Life Saving Victoria's Watch Around Water Pool Safety Program. As part of this program the following active supervision guidelines are in place:
- Children under 5 years of age must be accompanied in the water by a parent (or carer) or person over the age of 16. The child must remain within arm's reach of the parent/carer.
- Children aged between 5 and 10 years of age must be clearly and constantly visible and remain directly accessible.
- For children 10 years and older, parents must use their knowledge of their child's swimming ability to determine the level of supervision. Parents/carers are not required to be present in the facility.
Unsupervised children (of any age) will be removed from the water if the lifeguard is concerned for their safety.
Pool rules are in place at each venue to ensure everyone is able to enjoy their time safely. These rules are on display at each venue.
Please stay safe and respect the directions given by the lifeguard team.
