Swim nappies must be worn by all babies and toddlers under four.
Main pool
Only those 8 years and over are allowed in the deep water (2.4m). For those under 8, space is available in the shallow water (1.2m) and in the PAK'nSAVE Programmes Pool at various times throughout the week.
To ensure everyone who visits Coastlands Aquatic Centre has fun in a safe environment, all children aged 8 to 13 years who wish to swim in the deep water (2.4m) must pass a swim test.
The test will be:
