REMEMBER
Always take note of our public pool rules – usually displayed at the pool entrance. The city of George is not liable for loss or damage of any clothing or personal property.
If you can’t swim, we seriously recommend that you don’t go near the water. Please also make sure you let the lifeguards know if you or anyone else with you cannot swim or are not confident in the water.
Here are our general rules:
No alcohol or banned substances at the pool
No glass containers
No weapons of any kind
No running and messing around in and around the pool
No dunking or diving off shoulders
No ball games in or outside of the pool area
No pets allowed

Activity dont’s
Don’t run, push, duck, bomb or play rough.
Don’t swim near or under the diving boards and make sure one person at a time uses the board.
PLEASE NOTE
It’s best to have young children in your care within arm’s reach. Remember, it only takes a few seconds for an accident to happen or a child to disappear in a crowd – so keep them close.
What to do if you get into trouble in the water:
Raise your hand and wave.
Try stay calm as panicking can make you tired and run out of breath.
Try and get to the edge of the pool and hold on.
Don’t grab anyone else as you may pull them down with you.
