Mayor’s Message

There’s a whole lot going on in North Perth! That’s a tribute to the hard work of a small but strong staff team and dedicated, enthusiastic volunteers who make it happen!

To keep on top of it all, it is my pleasure to introduce you to the 2023 Spring and Summer Guide, published by the Municipality of North Perth.

This Guide focuses, first and foremost, on the many recreational programs and activities that happen here. It also informs you about the work of your municipal government, with an explanation about our departments and services and how to connect with them.

Hold on to this document for the next year – it is a great overview of a lot of awesome going on in North Perth.

Your Council invites your input and feedback on ways to continue to build our great community. Reach out to us with your comments and ideas by phone, email, or on the web at Your Say North Perth.

Pool Admission Standards

Admission Standards for Public Pools were developed by the Office of the Chief Coroner to assist lifeguards and assistant lifeguards in maintaining adequate surveillance over the whereabouts and the activities of young bathers while they are inside the pool enclosure. The Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care strongly supports these recommendations for the purpose of preventing injuries and fatalities.

• Children under the age of 10 years who are non-swimmers must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is at least 12 years of age and responsible for their direct supervision (within arms’ reach). The ratio of non-swimmers to parent or guardian may be a maximum of 4 bathers to one parent or guardian (4:1). The ratio of non-swimmers to parent or guardian may be increased to a maximum of 8 bathers to one parent or guardian (8:1) if life jackets are worn by all non-swimmers in their charge.

• Children under the age of 10 who are swimmers (able to demonstrate comfort in the water and pass the facility swim test) may be admitted to the swimming pool unaccompanied.

• Children under the age of 6 years may not be admitted to the swimming pool unless they are accompanied by a parent or guardian who is responsible for their direct supervision (within arms’ reach), with a maximum of two children for each parent or guardian.

• Guardians or group leaders are responsible for the children in their care while in the facility and must directly supervise the children at all times. Guardians or group leaders should be swimmers at least 12 years of age.

Recommended Supervision Ratio

Children under age 6 Maximum Two children to one guardian (2:1)

Children under 6 admitted only with guardian (max 2 per guardian)

Children aged 6 to 9 who are non-swimmers

Four children to one guardian (4:1) or

Eight children with lifejackets to one guardian (8:1)

1 adult for every 4 children

1 adult for every 8 children with lifejacket

Children aged 6 to 9 who are swimmers
