Swimming Pool: Family Swim Admission Policy<br />

1. Background<br />

The Institute of Sport and Recreation Management<br />

has recently reviewed the <strong>admission</strong> <strong>policy</strong> for<br />

children using <strong>swimming</strong> pools.<br />

The purpose of a Child Admission Policy is to help<br />

safeguard children who historically are most at risk<br />

of drowning in <strong>swimming</strong> pools. It is not intended<br />

to prevent children from having fun and enjoying<br />

the exercising and socialising aspects of <strong>swimming</strong><br />

and its benefits in health terms. Nor is it intended<br />

to make life difficult for parents/carers.<br />

By following the guidelines herein we believe that,<br />

with the help of parents/carers we can provide<br />

the opportunities for children to learn to swim,<br />

develop <strong>swimming</strong> skill, and have fun in the safest<br />

possible environment.<br />

2. The Policy<br />

2.1 The Institute strongly recommends that all juniors<br />

should be accompanied by a responsible person when<br />

attending the <strong>swimming</strong> pools.<br />

2.2 A responsible person, aged at least 16 years MUST<br />

accompany all children under the ages of 8 years. They<br />

must go into the water with the children they are<br />

accompanying. Whilst in the pool the responsible person<br />

should maintain a constant watch over the children<br />

and be in close contact with those of their children who<br />

are weak or non-swimmers. The responsible person<br />

may be responsible for<br />

(i) one child under the age of 4 years or<br />

(ii) two children aged 4-7 years.<br />

2.3 All non swimmers must be restricted to designated<br />

safe areas of the pool.<br />

2.4 Non swimmers and weak swimmers must not go<br />

out of their depth with the exception of the very young<br />

who by virtue of their size are out of their depth in even<br />

the shallowest area of the pool.<br />

2.5 A non swimmer or weak swimmer is defined as<br />

someone who is unable to achieve the following standards<br />

to the satisfaction of pool staff:<br />

(i) jump from the pool side into water 1.5m or more<br />

(ii) tread water for 1 minute<br />

Did you know?<br />

3. Family Swim Admission<br />

To try to maintain a family friendly environment we<br />

only allow access to groups which <strong>inc</strong>lude adults<br />

and children, up to the maximum capacity of 35<br />

people. Please Note that due to consistent<br />

behavioural issues no participants under the age of<br />

16 will be allowed access to Family Swim sessions<br />

without a responsible adult.<br />

4. Children’s use of the changing rooms<br />

Responsible persons accompanying children under<br />

8 years old to the <strong>swimming</strong> pool will be able to<br />

take them into an ‘opposite sex’ changing room if<br />

there is no other responsible person with them to<br />

take them into the ‘same sex’ changing room. This<br />

is because it is reasonable to assume that a child<br />

too young to swim unaccompanied is too young to<br />

fend for him or herself in a changing room<br />

5. Code Of Conduct<br />

It is the responsibility of every swimmer to respect<br />

the rules of the pool and their fellow swimmers:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Always listen to Lifeguards.<br />

Shower before you swim.<br />

Follow Pool Rules.<br />

Swim in an appropriate manner<br />

Use appropriate language<br />

All public swim sessions <strong>inc</strong>luding Adult Swims, Family Swims and Ladies Only Swims are free for all<br />

All participants must collect a ticket from reception. Tickets are allocated on a first come first served <strong>policy</strong> from 30 minutes before the session is due to start. All swims have a maximum capacity which can not be exceeded. Access to the <strong>swimming</strong> pool will not be allowed without a ticket.
