North East Derbyshire District Council's Swimming Pool Admissions Policy
We want you to have a great time when you visit us. Please read the following points - by sticking to them, you’ll ensure your time in the pool is safe and fun.
- North East Derbyshire District Council strongly recommends that all juniors should be accompanied by a responsible person when attending the swimming pools.
- A responsible person, aged at least 16 years MUST accompany all children under the age of 8 years. They must go into the water with the children they are accompanying. Whilst in the pool the responsible person should remain a constant watch over the children and be in close contact with those of their children who are weak or non-swimmers. The responsible person may be responsible for:
- One child under the age of 4 years; OR
- Two children aged 4 to 7 years.
- All non-swimmers must be restricted to designated safe areas of the pool.
- Non swimmers and weak swimmers must not go out of their depth with the exception of the very young who by virtue of their size are out of their depth in even the shallowest area of the pool.
- A non swimmer or weak swimmer is defined as someone who is unable to achieve the following standards to the satisfaction of pool staff:
i) Jump from the pool side into water 1.5 metres deep or more
ii) Tread water for 1 minute; and finally
iii) Swim 50 metres in under 2 minutes.
By following these guidelines we believe that, with the help of parents/carers, we can provide the opportunities for children to learn to swim, develop swimming skills and have fun in the safest possible environment.
