To ensure you are ready for your visit, don’t forget to check out our swim safety rules

 

SWIM SAFELY RULES

  • Under 8's and non swimmers 11-17 must be accompanied in the water by a competent adult swimmer.
  • No more than two under 8's or non swimmers 11-17 to one competent adult swimmer.
  • The competent adult swimmer must actively supervise under 8's and non swimmers 11-17 keeping them close and safe at all times.
  • Under 8's and all non swimmers must remain in shallow water. There are flotation barriers and red demarcation lines to help highlight areas of deep water.
  • We strongly recommend under 8's and non swimmers use armbands and/or an appropriate buoyancy aid.
  • Swim testing by lifeguards may be implemented to check the ability of swimmers before they are allowed into deep water. This will be at the discretion of the lifeguard on position.
  • The swim test requires swimmers to swim one length of the pool (25m) in a recognized swimming stroke without stopping.
  • When swimmers pass the test, they will be provided with a wristband to help highlight to lifeguards they are deemed safe in deeper water.
  • Swimmers who do not pass the swim test will be required to stay within shallow water under the supervision of a competent adult.
  • If parents are unable to adhere to the 2:1 supervisory ratio, then all swimmers may not be allowed to continue swimming. This is for the safety of all swimmers.
  • It’s extremely important adults ensure they have the right supervisory ratios before booking their swimming session to ensure all visitors can enjoy their swim.

Please adhere to the poolside rules otherwise you maybe asked to leave.
