hydrotherapy pool requirements policy

To support a safe, hygienic, and healthy aquatic environment for all participants, all individuals are required to shower immediately prior to entering the hydrotherapy pool.

​

Participants must not attend or enter the pool if they are experiencing illness, particularly symptoms relating to gastroenteritis, diarrhoea, vomiting, or other contagious conditions.

​

In accordance with NSW Health recommendations, participants who have experienced diarrhoea or gastro symptoms must not enter the pool for a minimum of two (2) weeks after symptoms have fully resolved.

​

To maintain health and safety standards, participants are also required to ensure that:

• Appropriate swimwear is worn at all times

• Any open cuts, wounds, or abrasions are fully covered with waterproof dressings prior to entering the pool

​

The Water Affect reserves the right to refuse pool entry where a participant presents with illness symptoms, open health risks, or any other factor that may compromise the safety, wellbeing, or hygiene of participants, families, or staff.
