At Goonellabah Sports & Aquatic Centre, we prioritise the safety of children in our swimming program.
Children under 12 must be accompanied by a person over 16 and supervised at all times while in the pool area, either by a responsible carer or swim school staff member.
All children under 12 participating in squad programs must be accompanied into the pool by a responsible carer over 16, taken to their teacher at the start of the lesson and picked up from their teacher at the end of the lesson.
For one-hour and longer programs, carers are permitted to leave the pool area but must return to collect their child at the end of the lesson.
Children are not allowed to leave the pool area alone or wait outside the building to be picked up.
We are constantly working to improve our practices to ensure a child-friendly and safe environment for all children at our centre.
Please adhere to this policy to ensure the safety of your child while they attend our swimming program.
