Description
This variant combines the full "SHALLOW WATER" text with the yellow-triangle depth pictogram in a single sign—ideal for venues serving mixed-ability swimmers and non-English speakers. The dual-format approach meets AS 2416.1 requirements while maximising clarity for first-time visitors and multilingual audiences. Choose marine aluminium for salt-exposed outdoor pools, polypropylene for indoor leisure centres and residential installations, or vinyl for pool-house glass and change-room doors. Four standard sizes from 225×300 mm to 600×900 mm accommodate everything from small splash pads to Olympic-scale facilities. Trade accounts benefit from bulk discounts and same-day order processing.
Final sign type, wording, size, placement and material depend on the site risk, project specification and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with the relevant WHS adviser or regulator.

Frequently asked
Why add text to the pictogram?
Text eliminates ambiguity for adult swimmers and ensures non-English speakers can request translation support. Pictogram alone works for secondary markers; full legend at primary entry points provides maximum accessibility.
Which material lasts longest outdoors?
Marine-grade aluminium offers 10+ years of fade-free service in coastal environments. Polypropylene suits sheltered outdoor decks; vinyl works best indoors and on glass surfaces.
Can I laminate the sign for extra durability?
Yes. Select the lamination option at checkout for UV and moisture protection, extending sign life in humid and high-traffic areas.
How many signs do I need for a standard 50m pool?
The appropriate safety-sign category, wording, placement and supporting controls depend on the product purpose, site risk and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with your WHS adviser or regulator; a sign alone does not discharge WHS duties.
What's your lead time for large orders?
