A quick reminder about pool etiquette 🏊 These simple steps make a big difference in keeping our pools safe, clean and enjoyable for everyone! They prevent germs from spreading and reduce the chance of pool closures.

🚿 shower and wash with soap before entering the pool
🚫 do not swim if you or your child has had diarrhoea or gastro symptoms in the last 14 days
🚽 use the toilet before swimming and take regular toilet breaks during your visit
🧴 wash hands thoroughly after using the toilet or changing a nappy or continence product
💩 wear suitable swimmer nappies or swim-safe continence products when needed
👶 use designated change areas only - not the side of the pool

Please report any accidents or contamination concerns to our lifeguards or team immediately. Thank you for doing your part to keep our pools a safe and welcoming place for all!
