It has been brought to our attention that some of our older children, particularly intermediate age swimmers, are still causing issues for other pool users by excessive bombing and over exuberant play.
This is causing a large amount of water loss, which can cause heating issues as well as being annoying for other pool users.

Please use the pool in a respectful manner and we expect adult supervisors to take responsibility for the children in their care. We are able to determine who the culprits are through our camera network and if the behavior doesn’t improve we will be forced to contact key holders.

We are also aware of a number of young people, under the required age of 16, who are using the pool without supervision and sometimes entering or being let in by other key holders.
If you are a key holder, as per the contract, you are responsible for the members of your household. All swimmers under 16 years of age must be accompanied and supervised by an adult.

Anyone bringing a friend for a swim should be making a donation in the donation box.

Finally, we want to remind our daytime swimmers that Friday lunchtimes are for school use, not the general public. This is considered the period from 1.00pm to 1.45pm.

Thank you for taking time to read these notices.

It has been brought to our attention that some of our key holders, ( and non key holders!), are causing issues for other pool users by excessive bombing and over exuberant play.
This is causing a large amount of water loss, which in turn affects the water filtration process as well as a need to continuously top up the water level, resulting in heat loss and additional costs to running the pool.

We are also aware of a number of young people, under the required age of 16, who are using the pool without supervision and sometimes entering or being let in by other key holders.

Wakefield School & Community Pool are in need of a few more volunteers to help put the pool covers on in the evening and do a small amount of testing over the summer holidays.

If you are a regular pool user and are happy to help us out , please contact the school office or Kathy in the school library.
