Shallow Water Sign
Product code: PSS-WS-WRN-0002
This AS 2416.1 warning sign alerts swimmers to shallow depths using the standard yellow-triangle format. Essential for above-ground pools, wading areas, splash pads, and the shallow end of public facilities where depth awareness prevents injury. The sign works best alongside a No Diving prohibition marker to address both the hazard condition and the unsafe behaviour it invites.
Material
Rigid plastic sheet suited to indoor and sheltered or general outdoor applications, subject to the print finish and site exposure.
Viewing distance is indicative; check approach distance, lighting and mounting position for the site.
Includes $2.45 GST

Frequently asked questions
What material suits an outdoor coastal pool?
Marine-grade aluminium resists salt spray and UV exposure without corrosion or fading. Specify this option at checkout or contact our trade team for bulk orders.
Can I order custom sizes?
Standard sizes are 225×300, 300×450, 450×600, and 600×900 mm. For non-standard dimensions, contact our sales team with your venue layout and we'll provide a quote.
Do you offer mounting holes?
Yes. Four-corner pre-drilled holes are an optional extra with a base surcharge of $3.00 inc GST per sign for the listed configurations, before any applicable volume discount. Select the option to update the configured total before adding to cart.
What's the difference between this and No Diving?
Shallow Water warns swimmers of depth conditions (yellow triangle = hazard awareness). No Diving prohibits a specific action (red circle = forbidden). Most facilities install both to address the hazard and the risky behaviour separately.
Do you offer trade discounts?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
