Aqua nappies

All children aged three and under must wear swim nappies and tight-fitting swimwear during their pool visit. The key requirement is that there are two lines of defence - nappy and togs.

We recommend Speedo Aqua Nappies which are eco-friendly and reusable. They are to be worn with a second layer - either togs or a disposable swim nappy.

You can buy aqua nappies at reception (for $3) and local supermarkets.
