Pool SafetyAll children under the age of eight should be accompanied in the water by a responsible person 16 years or over. This person may be responsible for up to two children under the age of eight. The accompanying person should ensure that all under eights and non-swimmers remain in safe areas of the pool (i.e. in the shallow end, within their own depth of water and near to the pool side). The use of approved bouyancy aids* for under eights and non-swimmers is recommended. Spectators cannot supervise children under eight in the water. Spectators must use the designated area and are not allowed on poolside in order to prevent contamination from shoes.

*Suitable bouyancy aids are classed as a garment or armbands and must meet EN BS 13138 standards. A float is not classed as a suitable bouyancy aid.

We reserve the right to change the programme in exceptional circumstances.
