The maximum numbers of children the responsible adult may supervise are: -
- 1 Adult to one child up to the age of 4 years
- 1 Adult to two children 4 -7 years where the children are non-swimmers wearing buoyancy aids.

- If the children are non-swimmers, they should be wearing buoyancy aids.
A competent swimmer test may be available at the discretion of the management. If a child over the age of 7 passes the competent swimmer test, they will be allowed entry to the pool if they are supervised from the poolside by an adult who must always remain on the poolside.
