We love our clean pools, and we know you do too!
Unfortunately, even the best maintained pools can get contaminated when accidents happen.
There are some key things that everyone can do to keep our pools healthy:
- Shower and wash before entering the pools
- Don’t swim if you have diarrhoea or had it in the last two weeks
- Take children on bathroom breaks often rather than waiting to hear they 'have to go' as it may be too late
- Use tight fit swim nappies for all infants and toddlers who are not toilet trained
- Change nappies in a bathroom and not at the poolside as germs can spread to surfaces or objects in and around the pool and spread illness
- Wash hands with soap and water after changing a child's nappy
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our pools healthy.
