A great idea for your next corporate or social function. Rates start from as little as $87 an hour, including trained lifeguards. Spa pools are only available during normal pool hours.

Keeping safe – the pool rules  

Safety in and around the water is vital. As a caregiver it’s your responsibility to keep your children safe.

What are my pool safety responsibilities?

All children under the age of eight must be actively supervised by a caregiver 16 years of age or over.

Actively supervised means:

  • Watching your children at all times
  • Being able to provide immediate assistance
