Child Admission Policy
This policy has been written following Risk Assessments being carried out taking into account the design, layout and type of pool; the swimming ability and age of children and whether approved buoyancy aids are being worn by non-swimmers. We have also used Guidance from Chartered Institute For The Management of Sport And Physical Activity (CIMSPA) and the Health & Safety Executive (HSE).
0 – 3 Years old
Children Aged 3 years and under must be accompanied on a
1 adult : 1 child basis.
This is regardless of whether the child is wearing a buoyancy aid.
4 – 7 Years old
Children Aged 4, 5, 6 or 7 years must be accompanied on a 1 adult:2 children basis as a minimum.
This is regardless of whether either child is wearing a buoyancy aid.
8 Years & Over
Children aged 8 years and over do not need to be accompanied.
It is therefore down to parents to be confident that their child’s
swimming ability is of a suitable standard to not need adult supervision.
Mixed Ages
Where an adult has 1 child aged 3 or under and another aged 4, 5, 6 or 7 then the younger child must wear an appropriate buoyancy aid.
