21.01.2022 Remember that our Pools operate under the Royal Life Saving Keep Watch Program. With lack of direct supervision by a parent or carer believed to be a contribut...ing factor in 70% of all drowning deaths at public pools, the Keep Watch at Public Pools program aims to eliminate all drowning deaths and reduce the number of near drowning incidents at these facilities. The program targets parents and carers of children to help them understand their responsibilities and the dangers of leaving their children unattended at the pool. Active supervision at public pools consists of four key elements: Be Prepared: Ensure you have everything you need before getting into the water, such as towels and dry clothes. Be Close: Always be within arms' reach of your child. All of Your Attention: Focus all of your attention on your child and get into the pool and talk and play with them. All of the Time: You should never leave your child alone in the water, nor should they be left in the care of an older child or with the assumption that your responsibility diminishes due to the presence of lifeguards.
