Swim Smart: Safety Tips for Your Day at the Pool
Summer is here, and there’s no better way to beat the heat than spending a day at the pool. At The Edge, we prioritise your safety and enjoyment. Whether you’re a seasoned swimmer or just looking to cool off, following these essential safety tips will ensure a fun and safe experience for everyone.
Know Your Limits
Understand your swimming abilities and stick to areas within your comfort zone. If you’re not a strong swimmer, use floatation devices and stay in the shallow end.
Swim with a Buddy
Never swim alone. Having a buddy ensures that someone can help in case of an emergency, especially important for children.
Stay Hydrated and Sun-Protected
Drink plenty of water and take breaks in the shade. Apply waterproof sunscreen regularly to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
Observe Pool Rules
Familiarize yourself with The Lido’s pool rules, such as no running on the deck, no diving in shallow areas, and avoiding rough play.
Water Slide Safety
Our water slide connects two pools and is a fun feature, but safety is key:
- Wait Your Turn: Ensure the slide is clear before going down.
- Feet First: Always slide feet first and on your back.
- Move Quickly: Clear the exit area promptly to avoid collisions.
Supervise Children Constantly
Children require constant supervision around water. Always keep an eye on them, even if lifeguards are present.
By following these safety tips, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience at The Edge. Your safety is our priority. Swim smart, have fun, and make the most of your day at the pool!
