Maitland Council would not confirm on Tuesday if the incident was captured on CCTV.
"As this is an ongoing police investigation, council is unable to make any further comment at this time," a spokesman said.
Maitland Aquatic Centre is a member of the Royal Life Saving Australia Keep Watch at Public Pools partnership.
The program aims to engage with parents and carers to help them understand what is appropriate supervision at public pools.
Thirty four people have drowned at public swimming pools in the past decade.
Children under five accounted for 25 per cent of the deaths.
