Watch around the Water

Water safety is about your supervision and building water confidence in your children.

• Children under 5 - must be constantly supervised and remain within arms reach. If the child is in the water, the guardian must be in the water too.
• Children under 10 - must be accompanied into the facility and constantly supervised by a guardian. The guardian must have a clear view of the child at all times.

Kingston’s Leisure Centres and PLAY IT SAFE believe that it is vital that children are taught to behave safely in and around water from an early age.

• While our Leisure Centres are committed to equipping children with necessary skills through swimming lessons, it is important that supervision and these skills are also taught with parent supervision.
• Parental supervision is essential when a child is in the water. Drownings are preventable by ensuring you never take your eyes off young children in any water and always remain within arm’s reach.
• One way to protect your children is to teach them the skills to be comfortable and competent in the water. That starts with bath time, learn to swim classes, beach visits or shallow wading pools.
