The clear, clean waters are monitored by trained safety personnel to ensure everyone’s comfort and well-being during their swim sessions. Swimmers aged 12 years or older are welcome to join these events, though specific guidelines apply for younger participants: swimmers between 12-15 must wear both a wetsuit and a floatation device, and should be accompanied by an adult.

This rule ensures everyone’s safety while maintaining the enjoyable atmosphere of these sessions.
