Every child deserves a safe and enjoyable experience in the water.

Active supervision means staying close, keeping children within sight, and remaining focused on their activities while they're in and around the pool.

A watchful and engaged parent or carer can make all the difference in helping children build confidence and enjoy the water safely.

Time around the pool is all about having fun, building confidence, and making memories together.

When supervising children in and around the water, it's important to stay focused and remove distractions. Water incidents can happen quickly, so keeping your attention on children at all times while in and around water is essential for safety.

By staying present and engaged, you're helping create a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone. Learn more via the Aquatic Supervision page on our website.

Getting the family prepped and packed for a day of fun at the Bluewater Lagoon can be a mission! And something always gets forgotten 🤦

The good news is, if you've forgotten swim nappies for the kids the day doesn't have to end 🙌🏻.

Pop in to see the friendly staff at the cafe to pick one up.

Do your bit to keep our Bluewater Lagoon open and safe for everyone to enjoy 👍

💛❤️ Bluewater Lagoon Armband Policy ❤️💛

At Bluewater Lagoon, safety is our number one priority.

To help our lifeguards identify patrons who may need extra attention, we use a simple armband system:

💛 YELLOW High-Visibility Armband
All children 5 years and under are required to wear a yellow armband while visiting the Lagoon. These bright bands help our team quickly identify our youngest guests in and around the water.

❤️ RED Assistance Armband
Red armbands are available for patrons who may require additional assistance or support during their visit. This helps our lifeguards provide an extra level of awareness and care.

✅ Armbands are available from our friendly front entry team.

Together, we can create a safer and more enjoyable experience for everyone at Bluewater Lagoon.
