Water Safety Starts With You.

While lifeguards are always on duty at our pools, parents and guardians play a vital role in keeping children safe. Supervision is key!

Here’s what to remember when swimming with kids.

✔️ Under 5 years: Always within arm’s reach — you must be in the water with them.
✔️ Under 10 years: Active supervision is essential — keep them in sight at all times and be ready to enter the water.
✔️ Avoid distractions: Put phones away and stay focused on your child.
✔️ Always be prepared to get in the water.

Are you a weak or non-swimmer? Don't forget to grab an orange wristband from reception when you visit so you're recognised by our lifeguards.

Be Prepared and Always Actively Supervise Children Around Water.

Join Jessica Gray, Founder of SET Health, for an informative seminar exploring chronic illness, prevention, management and practical strategies to support long-term health and wellbeing.

As a special bonus, Jessica has kindly arranged for every participant to receive a FREE Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring device to take home.
