Active supervision

Ensure that you actively supervise children and take full responsibility for their safety in the water.

Active supervision consists of four key elements:

• be prepared - ensure you have everything you need before getting into the water, such as towels and dry clothes
• be close - always be within arms' reach of your child
• all of your attention - focus all of your attention on your child by getting into the pool and talking and playing with them
• all of the time - you should never leave your child alone in the water or in the care of an older child, or assume that your responsibility diminishes due to the presence of lifeguards.
