The policy promoted by Water Safety NZ throughout New Zealand has been adopted by Levin Pools and Foxton Pool as follows:
CHILDREN UNDER 8 MUST BE ACTIVELY SUPERVISED BY A CAREGIVER 16 YEARS OR OVER
ACTIVELY SUPERVISED means:
1. Watching your children at all times
2. Being in a position to provide immediate assistance
Any child not being supervised in the pools as above will be asked to leave the water.
If possible parents will be contacted. If this proves impossible, the Police will be called.
The presence of young, unsupervised children in the pools may mean staff are unable to supervise the safety of the other pool users.
Any questions regarding this policy should be made to the Manager.
For more information and to check on seasonal opening, phone (06) 368 0070 or email hac1@horowhenua.govt.nz
