User Safety Code

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has prepared a Safety Code for swimming pool users. The Management believe the points made in the code are important enough to detail it to you on this site.

1 Spot the dangers
Swimming pools can be hazardous. Water presents a risk of drowning, and injuries can be caused from hitting hard surrounds.
2 Always within your ability
Never swim after a heavy meal or alcohol. Take care if you have a medical problem such as epilepsy, asthma, diabetes or a heart condition.
3 Check new places
Every pool is different, check the depth of the water and other hazards such as diving boards and water slides.
4 Take safety advice
Avoid unruly behaviour, for instance, running, ducking, acrobatics, shouting/screaming. Always do as lifeguards say, remember that a moment of foolishness can cost a life.
5 Look out for yourself and other swimmers
It is safer to swim with a companion. Keep an eye open for others, particularly young children and non-swimmers.
6 Learn how to help
If you see somebody in difficulty, get help immediately. In an emergency, keep calm and do exactly as you are told.

Our lifeguards are there to provide both assistance in an emergency and as importantly prevent accidents from occurring beforehand. Please obey their instructions, there will be a reason for it.

The information provided on this site is correct at time of publishing. As circumstances may change at short notice, you are advised to check before making a special journey.
