| Text from paragraph 205 of Managing
Health and Safety in Swimming Pools by the Health and Safety
Executive. |
"Pool operators will need
to consider the number of young children (under the age of 8
years) allowed into the pool, during unprogrammed sessions,
under the supervision of one parent or adult. The decision on
whether or not to admit adults with parties of children should
be made having followed the principles of risk assessment, taking
into account the physical attributes of the pool tank, the pool
environment, staffing levels, and where possible the swimming
capabilities of the children." |
