What a pool rules sign is for
A fence handles the toddler. A rules sign handles everyone else: the ten year old who wants to bomb into the shallow end, the guest who carries a beer bottle onto wet tiles, the visitor who does not know your gate needs a push before it latches.
Six rules on every sign here. Active supervision. Close and latch the gate. No running or rough play. No diving. Keep the pool area clear of toys and flotation devices. No glassware.
Is a pool rules sign required by law?
Not in the way a CPR sign is. The signage duty in Australian pool law attaches to the resuscitation chart, and it applies in New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia, plus public and commercial facilities in Western Australia. The state-by-state detail is on the CPR signs page.
Where rules wording does carry legal weight is inside that chart. New South Wales prescribes three lines, on supervising young children, keeping pool gates closed, and keeping articles, objects and structures clear of the pool fence, as part of the content the required sign must carry. That is a rule about what the CPR sign says. It is not a separate requirement to hang a rules sign.
So a pool rules sign is the household's own document rather than the state's. It sets out what you expect of people at your pool, which is a different job from the one the law is doing.
The panel
350mm wide by 710mm high, full colour digital print on aluminium composite, $129. The same panel and the same seven colourways as the CPR signs, which is deliberate: most people buy the pair, and two signs in one colour on one fence read as a considered thing rather than two separate purchases. Charcoal Black, Stone Blue, Moss Green, Slate Grey, Earth Red, Ice White and Dune Gold.
Hang it where someone reads it before they get in, which usually means the gate rather than the far fence. The panels are not pre-drilled. The installation kit covers fences, walls and posts.
The regulatory summary above was read from the state instruments in August 2026. It is general information, not legal advice.
