Watch Around Water (WAW) Child Supervision Rules

Watch Around Water is an industry driven initiative adopted by the Payneham and Norwood Swimming Centres to address concern regarding the supervision of children by parents/ guardians in public aquatic centres. The primary aim of the program is to develop consistency in the aquatic industry as well as educate and raise the awareness of what is involved when adequately supervising children at a public aquatic facility. Handouts and sandwich boards are visual aids used within the centre to display the expectations of parents or caregivers to provide appropriate supervision of children under 10 years of age. Wrist bands should be fitted at reception to all children under the age of 5 years old intending on entering the water.

Children under 5 years:

• must be constantly supervised by a responsible person (parent or caregiver)
• must be accompanied in the water by a responsible person
• must remain within arm’s reach at all times in the water

Children under 10 years:

• must be constantly supervised by a responsible person (parent or caregiver)
• must be within clear view with no physical or structural barriers between you and your child
• child of limited swimming ability regardless of age using a flotation device must be accompanied in the water by a responsible person at all times.
