Product details
Confirm that NO SWIMMING is the complete site rule
Order this fixed face only when swimming is prohibited at the identified boundary. If the restriction is temporary, conditional or caused by a specific hazard, confirm whether the site also needs closure dates, operator instructions, warning wording or another symbol. The generic face does not tell people why the water is restricted.
Define the boundary before choosing each mounting point
Place the sign at the decision point before water access, not after a person has entered the restricted area. Check every gate, path and informal approach, keep the ring, swimmer pictogram and legend unobstructed, and repeat the message where one sign cannot make the boundary clear from all normal directions.
Keep physical and emergency controls in place
Maintain every barrier, gate, lock, supervision arrangement, rescue control and emergency procedure required for the location. At a regulated swimming pool, keep the required CPR or warning notice separate and legible. A printed prohibition sign cannot prevent entry, supervise children or provide rescue instructions.
Choose a face that stays readable near the water
Use vinyl only on a clean, smooth and compatible surface; use a rigid face where the substrate or exposure calls for mechanical fixing. Keep fixings clear of the border and pictogram, avoid interfering with gate operation, and replace the face when dirt, spray, fading or physical damage makes the rule difficult to recognise.
Check the sign format before ordering
This is a general NO SWIMMING prohibition face. It does not certify a pool or water site, enforce a closure, identify the hazard or replace any required barrier, CPR notice, supervision or rescue control. Confirm the exact format and supporting measures for the facility and jurisdiction.
- WorkSafe Queensland — Managing the risks of public swimming pools — WorkSafe Queensland says public-pool operators must assess the risks specific to the facility and use the controls that are reasonably practicable. Its guidance emphasises that supervision and other control measures work together to manage drowning risk. Read source (opens in a new tab)A No Swimming sign can communicate one site rule but does not perform the assessment, supervision or physical control required at a public pool.
- NSW Government — Owning a pool or spa: your obligations — NSW Government guidance requires applicable pool owners to maintain child-resistant barriers, keep access gates closed and self-latching, supervise children and display the required CPR sign near the pool. Read source (opens in a new tab)The requirements vary by pool and jurisdiction. This generic NO SWIMMING face does not replace a compliant barrier, gate, supervision or CPR sign.
- NSW Swimming Pools Regulation 2018 — warning notices — The NSW Regulation prescribes content and legibility for pool warning notices and separate wording while a swimming pool is under construction, including resuscitation information and site-specific statements. Read source (opens in a new tab)The fixed NO SWIMMING legend does not contain the prescribed CPR notice or construction-pool wording. Check the current law and responsible authority for the site.
Before ordering
- Confirm who set the no-swimming rule, why it applies, its boundary and whether it is permanent or temporary.
- Check whether NO SWIMMING is sufficient or must be accompanied by POOL CLOSED or hazard-specific information.
- Identify every gate, path and approach where the rule must be visible before water access.
- Choose the portrait size, material and fixing method without obstructing a gate, barrier or required notice.
- Confirm barriers, supervision, rescue equipment, CPR signage and emergency procedures remain complete for the site.

Frequently asked questions
What is printed on this No Swimming sign?
The verified portrait artwork has a white field, black border, red prohibition ring and slash over a black swimmer-and-water pictogram, and the exact words NO SWIMMING. It does not state why the water is restricted, how long the rule applies, where the boundary ends or what emergency action to take.
Where should a No Swimming sign be installed?
Place it at the decision point before a person can enter the restricted water or pass the access boundary, such as an approach, gate or fence line identified by the site assessment. Check every normal approach, keep the full face visible with gates open and closed, and repeat the message where one sign cannot define the restricted area clearly.
Does this sign replace pool fencing, supervision or a CPR sign?
No. A No Swimming sign communicates a site rule; it is not a child-resistant barrier, self-closing gate, supervision plan, lifeguard, rescue arrangement or CPR notice. Pool and public-water duties vary by jurisdiction and facility, so keep every separately required barrier, warning notice, emergency sign and operating control in place.
Is this the right sign for a temporary pool closure?
Use this face only when the exact rule is NO SWIMMING. A temporary closure may need POOL CLOSED wording, a dated operator notice, locked access, physical barriers and hazard-specific information. If the reason is a current, contamination, dangerous wildlife, maintenance or another hazard, display the required warning or instruction as well as the prohibition.
Which material, size and mounting option should I choose?
Polypropylene is the default rigid option. Self-adhesive vinyl suits a clean smooth surface, 5 mm Corflute suits temporary identification, and Colorbond steel provides a stronger mechanically fixed face. The portrait sizes are 225 × 300 mm, 300 × 450 mm and 450 × 600 mm. Select from the actual approach distance and mounting position; optional holes apply only to rigid materials.
