Water safety

alert rhombus1

It’s important to prioritise water safety in and around pools, especially with young children.

Use our tips to keep yourself and your kids safe at Council's swimming pools.

  • Follow pool signage.

  • Always be alert to your surroundings.

  • Learn how to correctly perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

  • Make sure you have everything you need before your child gets into the water (e.g. your towel, bag, etc).

  • Actively supervise your children around water. Take extra care if you're supervising a child 14 years of age or younger, or someone who isn’t a strong swimmer.

 

  • Never leave your child alone in the water or in the care of an older child.

Council endorses Royal Life Saving Australia's Keep Watch at Public Pools program.

Keep your kids safe

Actively supervising your child is one of the best ways you can keep them safe around swimming pools.

Follow the Keep Watch at Public Pools age guidelines if you’re supervising kids at a public pool.

5 years and under and non-swimmers

Always be in the water and within arm’s reach of the child/non-swimmer.

6–10 years old and weak swimmers

Stay close and constantly supervise the child. Be prepared to get into the water with this age group.

11–14 years old

Maintain visual contact and regularly physically check on the child.

Frequently asked questions

The age a child can swim unsupervised in a pool depends on the individual child.

Always supervise children 14 years of age or younger when they’re swimming in a pool.
