• Adequate supervision requires the parent/guardian to accompany the child in the water and remain within arm's reach of the child at all times.
• Children under 5 years – their parent will be required to wear a wrist band, this allows the parent to be easily identified when a small child is left unattended.

Children participating in structured lessons/programs under the supervision of an instructor/coach will not be required to wear a wristband (unless swimming before or after their lesson).

Children 12 years and over

• For children 12 years and older, parents must use their knowledge of the child's swimming ability to determine the level of supervision required.
