Did you know starfish are some of the ocean’s most fascinating creatures?⭐

Here are 5 fun facts about these underwater wonders including GOswim's Number One Starfish: TAZ!

1️⃣ Limbs for days: Most starfish have five arms, but some species can have up to 40! Imagine all the high-fives! 🖐️
2️⃣ Brain? Who needs one? Starfish don’t have a brain or blood - instead, they use seawater to move and function.
3️⃣ Regeneration station: Lose an arm? No worries! Starfish can grow it back, and some can even regenerate their entire body from just one limb!
4️⃣ Mouths in weird places: A starfish’s mouth is on its underside, and it can push its stomach out to digest food outside its body before slurping it back in. Yum?
5️⃣ Super senses: Even without eyes, starfish can detect light and movement with tiny eye spots at the tip of each arm.

Aren’t starfish incredible? ⭐

Even though lifeguards are on duty at public pools, parents still have a crucial role to play in the supervision of children while visiting facilities like ours.

When swimming with children, parents need to remember:
✔️ Children under 5 need to be within arms’ reach at all times. This means you need to be in the water with your child.
✔️ Children aged 6 - 10 years require active supervision - always keep them in sight. Always be prepared to enter the water and maintain constant visual contact.
✔️ Children aged 11 – 14 years require visual contact – know where your child is at all times.
✔️ Minimise distractions such as mobile phones or chatting to other parents that may cause a lapse in supervision.
✔️ Always be prepared to get into the water.
