We are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for children when they are in or near the water.

To promote the active supervision of children the Lakes Entrance Aquadome is an accredited Watch Around Water facility.

Our sole aim is to have zero fatal and non-fatal drownings in our facilities.

Parents and guardians need to play an active role in supervising their children - we cannot rely only on our Pool Lifeguards to prevent incidents.

Please follow our Watch Around Water guidelines.
