Swim Admissions Policy

SWIM ADMISSIONS POLICY

All children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian or a responsible person, aged at least 16 years of age.

A parent, guardian or responsible person will go into the water with the children they are accompanying, maintain direct control and a constant watch over the children, especially those who are weak or non-swimmers.

PUBLIC SESSIONS SUPERVISION

• Children aged 0-7 years – one adult can supervise two children within this age range.

• All non swimmers should wear suitable buoyancy aids.

Admission is conditional on non-swimmers wearing arm bands or other suitable buoyancy aids which are appropriate to the age and abilities of the child. We advise customers to only use swimming aids that are kite marked or carry a BS EN number.

SWIMWEAR

All swimmers must wear appropriate swimwear. Clothing which is restrictive or ill fitting is not permissible. Additional garments, used solely for the purpose of swimming, may be worn over the top of a swimming costume.

Guidance on appropriate swimwear

• Swimwear must be safe, clean and respect the dignity of all customers and staff.

• Swimming costumes should offer appropriate cover and have adequate thickness of linings.

• Swimming shorts should offer appropriate cover, have adequate thickness of linings, be cut above the knee, be of lightweight material (no denim) and include a gusset.

HEALTH & WELLBEING

Customers that have experienced sickness or diarrhoea within the previous 48 hours are not permitted to enter the pools. Swimmers with known medical conditions that may compromise safety should seek medical advice prior to their visit
