•No one may take onto the inflatable with them any hard sharp or dangerous objects,
such as buckles, pens, keys, knives etc. Spectacles are best removed.
•Boisterous behavior (for example, deliberately pushing others off the inflatable or
lifting the inflatable in an attempt to dislodge others) which might put themselves or
others at risk is to be curbed. Offenders should be warned in the first instance.
•Careless or reckless behavior or intentional rough play including recklessly colliding
with other pool users, or interference with anchor ropes, or air pipes or fans, or
repeated disregard of operator’s directions, is not to be allowed. Offenders should be
dealt with by immediate expulsion.
•Under no circumstances should the users be allowed to climb on the structure whilst
it is out of the water or not correctly anchored.
•It is recommended that a signboard should be erected close to the front of the unit
listing the above points and any specific rules of play.
Rules of Play
Owners and operators and swimming pool managers should display their rules of play
in a manner which can be seen and read by all users before they are allowed onto the
inflatable, e.g. a prominent sign-board or poster. All attendants should be familiar with
those Rules of Play.
Ideally the attendant(s) should be equipped with a whistle to attract the attention of a
particular user or group of users. The system of work should ensure that the users are
admitted to the inflatable in a controlled and safe manner.
