As the summer season kicks off, Mayor of Camden, Cr Ashleigh Cagney, is reminding residents of the importance of water safety and checking check the safety of their swimming pool fencing.
"One of best things about summer is months of swimming in the pool. We all know how important it is to keep kids safe in and around the pool and ensuring that children are supervised whilst swimming in the pool, even when they know how to swim," Mayor Cagney said.
"Pool owners have a responsibility to ensure that swimming pools and spas have compliant fences and there are some simple checks you can do to check the effectiveness of your pool fencing.
"Even portable or blow-up style pools which are able to hold water with a depth over 30cm must have a compliant pool fence installed," Mayor Cagney said.
