Under 8s

All children under the age of eight should always be accompanied in and out of the water during un-programmed swimming sessions by a parent.

These are sessions that are open for public recreational swimming rather than those under the direct control or instruction of a group organiser or class teacher/coach.

The adult-to-child ratios must be as follows:- one adult can accompany 2 children under 8 (1:2 ratio).
