Water based activities are great fun especially for young children. However water is hazardous and careful supervision is essential.
The following rules are in place to help us maintain safety:
- A responsible adult aged 17 and over must accompany every child under the age of four-years-old.
- A responsible adult aged 17 and over must accompany children aged between four and seven years inclusive, with no more than two children to every adult.
- Children aged eight and over can swim unaccompanied.
