Questions
Which pool signs do I need?
Depends on the pool and your risk assessment. Many pools display the main rules (diving, running, glass, supervision) at the entrance. See HSE guidance HSG179, Health and safety in swimming pools.
Why is 'Shower before entering' blue?
A blue disc means something people must do. 'No' signs use the red ring and bar.
Can I edit the wording?
The pool-rules sign is a starting list. If your rules differ, use the single-rule signs instead.
Can I allow assistance dogs?
The "No pets in pool area" sign is a plain no-pets rule. If you want to keep pets out but still welcome assistance dogs, the "No dogs except assistance dogs" sign on the No dogs signs page may suit you better.
Will a paper sign survive by the pool?
Not for long. Use a plastic sleeve or laminate, or buy a durable sign.
