Swimming

This applies to all ANGUSalive Swimming Pools including High School Pools.

SUPERVISING ADULT

A responsible person, aged at least 16 years, must accompany a child under the age of eight years, as follows:

• Children must be accompanied in the water at all times by the responsible person
• Whilst in the water, the responsible person should maintain a constant watch over the children they are responsible for and be in close contact with any children who are weak or non-swimmers.
• These ratios are in place for children who are both swimmers and non-swimmers.
  • Children 3 years or under on a one-to-one basis
  • Children between the ages of 4 and 7 years on a two-to-one basis

FAMILY SWIM SESSIONS

During these sessions (as identified on our timetables), the ratio will be relaxed to allow for the supervision ratio of one adult to two children under the age of 8 as additional lifeguards will be present on the poolside during these sessions. Numbers during these sessions will be limited and all non-swimmers must wear arm bands or similar.

CHANGING AREAS

In the absence of Family Change or Unisex Change facilities, a child aged 7 years or under may be taken by a supervising adult into an opposite-sex (for the child) changing area. As soon as possible, children should be encouraged to change in their own cubicle area. Where provided, customers must use lockers and may not leave their belongings in the changing cubicles.

GROUPS /BIRTHDAY PARTIES

The same ages and ratios also apply to group visits and birthday party sessions.

FAILURE TO COMPLY

If a supervising adult fails to consistently fulfil his or her responsibilities in relation to the ANGUSalive Child Swimming Admission Policy, staff will ask the whole family group to leave the pool area.

Thank you for following this policy which ensures you enjoy a safe swim.
