Safety and rules

All our pool operations meet the national requirements of the PoolSafe standards. Qualified lifeguards will supervise the birthday party.

For you and your children to have a great time at the pool, you need to:

  • actively supervise children who under eight years old at all times
  • keep children under five years old within arms-length of an adult at all times
  • make sure no food or drink should be eaten outside of the poolside party area
  • make sure children are not allowed in the saunas or steam rooms
  • check if anyone who has had diarrhoea within 14 days of the party is not swimming.
