  • Lifeguards have the authority to remove anyone who is not following the rules or displaying disruptive behaviour.

  • Listen for lifeguard WHISTLES/VOICES. If you hear one, they may be trying to get your attention.

Respect

  • Everyone deserves respect. Verbal and physical abuse, aggressive, offensive, intimidating, or disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated by anyone attending City facilities.

  • Children under 8 years old MUST be accompanied by a person at least 14 years old and this person must be in the water and within arm's reach of the child.

  • The maximum number of children under 8 years of age per parent/guardian is three (3), regardless of how well the child can swim.

No running on the deck
