📢 Entry and child supervision arrangements at Newman Aquatic Centre are changing from Wednesday 4 November 2026 📢
What’s changing:
🎟️ The free-entry initiative for children under 16 will end, with standard swimming admission fees applying.
🧒 The minimum age for attending unaccompanied will increase from 10 to 12.
Children under 12 must be accompanied by a parent or responsible guardian aged 17 or over, who must remain at the Centre and actively supervise them throughout their visit.
👥 Spectator entry will become free for everyone. Adults entering the water will continue to pay the applicable swimming admission fee.
Children under five must remain within arm’s reach of their supervising parent or guardian. If the child is in the water, their supervisor must be in the water too.
Recent incidents of disruptive and unsafe behaviour have affected Centre operations. This behaviour is unacceptable. The safety of patrons and staff comes first, and all patrons must follow staff directions and the Centre’s conditions of entry.
The supervision changes will be trialled for the remainder of 2026.
These changes apply to Newman Aquatic Centre only. Arrangements at Marble Bar and Nullagine swimming pools remain unchanged.
