Today is R U OK? Day 💛

A simple conversation can make a big difference. Take a moment to check in with your mates, family, colleagues, or someone you haven't spoken to in a while.

Sometimes, asking "Are you OK?" is all it takes to help someone feel seen and supported.

SMART GLASSES AT PUBLIC SWIMMING FACILITIES

With the rising interest and availability of smart glasses, which allows recording of people without their knowledge or consent, council is reminding the community about the conditions of entry to public swimming facilities.

There are conditions of entry at the Bluewater Lagoon, Pioneer Pool, Memorial Pool and the MARC.

Council will continue to work with venue operators Belgravia Leisure and DMR Leisure - Mackay Memorial Swimming Centre to ensure a safe environment for all patrons, while noting that these devices can be fitted with prescription lenses.

If you have concerns or questions, please see staff at the location.

Our lifeguards are trained to supervise the pool and respond in emergencies, but parents and carers play the most important role in keeping children safe around water.

When visiting our venue, stay close, stay engaged, and keep your focus on children in and around the water, at all times. By working together, we can help create a safer and more enjoyable aquatic experience for everyone.

Your supervision makes all the difference. Learn more via the Aquatic Supervision page on our website.
