The state government has set up a swimming pool register as part of effort to reduce backyard drownings.
The register requires owners to do a self assessment of their pools through an online check list to ensure they meet the state’s legal requirements.
“It’s a sad fact that an average of six kids drown each year in backyard pools in NSW” Mr Page said.
