Wentworth Swimming Pool is a Keep Watch facility. This program was developed by Royal Life Saving Australia to help parents and carers of children to better understand their responsibilities and the dangers of leaving their children unattended at the pool.

​Therefore, the following safe supervision policies must be adhered to:

• Adequate supervision requires the parent/guardian to accompany the child in the water and remain within arm's reach of the child at all times.

Children under 10 years old

• Children under 10 years old will not be admitted without an appropriate parent/guardian. The parent/guardian must be 16 years or over and adhere to all conditions of entry.
• Children under 10 years old must be constantly supervised by a parent/guardian while in the aquatic area of the centre.
• The parent/guardian must position himself or herself to have a clear view of the child with no physical or structural barriers between them and the child.
