Conditions of entry
Our qualified lifeguards are dedicated to ensuring your visit is a safe and enjoyable experience. You can help us by following these simple rules.
- Actively supervise children under your care at the facility. Caring for children is not the responsibility of the lifeguard.
- Children aged five and under must be within arm’s reach of a responsible person aged 16 or over at all times. This means that if the child is in the water, they must be accompanied. A maximum of four children aged five or under may be under the care of a supervising individual.
- Children under the age of 10 must be accompanied and supervised by a responsible person aged 16 or older at all times. A maximum of eight children under 10 may be accompanied by one supervising individual.
- Make yourself familiar with water depths in each pool and access them in a safe and responsible manner.
- No smoking, consuming alcohol or bringing glass containers to the pool area and surrounds.
- Comply with the decision of the Lifeguard if they deny access to a pool facility to a person who appears intoxicated.
- Allow Lifeguards to inspect the content of bags, containers or eskies for prohibited items such as glass or alcohol.
- Follow a Lifeguard’s request to leave the facility if your behaviour is deemed to be of an anti-social nature or is offensive to others. Lifeguards have been instructed to call the police if an individual or group physically or verbally threatens them or other patrons.
Hot weather policy
Facilities will stay open for a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum 2 hours past the scheduled closing time, when the temperature is 35 degrees Celsius or above at 5.00 pm on the Bureau of Meteorology.
Catastrophic Fire Danger Days
Pools may be closed at any time for safety reasons, including dangerous weather conditions, and sometimes with very short notice to members and guests.
On declared Catastrophic Fire Danger Days:
- Eildon and Marysville will not be open to the public.
- Alexandra and Yea will only be open if there are staff available to work (Council encourages all staff to put their personal fire safety plans into effect on these days).
- If staff are available on Catastrophic Fire Danger Days, the Alexandra and Yea facilities will have extended opening hours.
