Our team at AC Baths has achieved PoolSafe accreditation for another year.

PoolSafe is an independent assessment of public pools to ensure their operations and facilities are safe, covering everything from water quality to risk assessment practices.

"Our staff prides itself on maintaining a safe and enjoyable workplace for our community to appreciate," Business and operations manager, Scott Attenborough says. "Our lifeguards take pride in our facility and maintain it to a very high level, and our pools and systems passed with flying colours once again".

This positive attitude coupled with strong attention to detail ensured no requests for any further information was required. The high quality of our team's paperwork, presentation and high standards of lifeguard training meant accreditation was awarded to the team immediately following the assessment.
