Member Safety

The health and safety of members is our number one priority.  Swimming is an active sport and participation is not without risk; we ask that all members acknowledge and adhere to the following:

• Swimmers are to use their own discretion before entering the baths, and to visually inspect the water before swimming
• Do not swim if the water is discoloured, smells unusual, or has significant amounts of rubbish or plant litter.
• The baths are unsupervised, no lifeguards are present
• No running, unsafe or dangerous behaviour
• No pushing or throwing persons into the water
• No bombing or excessive splashing
• No glass permitted in the swimming area
• Follow the direction of race marshals and the race starter
• Only enter the water when it is safe to do so
• Exercise caution using the entry/exit ladders, particularly at low tide
• Observe Council signage and rules, including in the change facilities
• The changing room floors can be slippery when wet
• Take care around the BBQ areas which are hot when in operation
