WATER PARK SAFETY AND TOP TIPS

Aquativity - South Bank

• Ensure children are supervised by you at all times (don’t rely on lifeguards)

• Make sure you wear plenty of sunscreen and reapply as necessary

• Pack lots of food and water (having fun in the water is bound to create large appetites)

• Have a pair of waterproof shoes available to use in case the ground is extra hot

• Don’t forget the towels and a wet bag

• Protect delicate young skin with sensible swimwear, rashies, and hats

• Leave precious and non-waterproof items at home
