At the pools

- Keep children within arm’s reach, especially in and around the children’s pool and near the water slide.

- Use the nearby boat launch and on‑site boat rental responsibly—wear approved buoyancy aids and check conditions.
- For windsurfing and diving (0.1 km away), choose providers that brief you on local conditions and safety practices.
