If your child needs a nappy on during a swim session, please ensure it is a proper swim nappy and is worn under a swim costume/swim shorts.

For safety, space and to allow those watching lessons to have a clear view, please only use the changing rooms for getting changed before and after lessons. For safeguarding reasons, please do not get changed on the poolside or in any other public area other than the designated changing rooms.

Please only come to lessons if you are feeling healthy and well. Please leave 48hrs clear of any sickness or diarrhoea bug before returning to swimming. If you have covid-19 please adhere to the current government guidelines as outlined on the government website.

If you are a parent or guardian of a swimmer you are welcome to watch them swim – although no photographs/videos in the pool or changing areas are to be taken. As space can sometime be limited please try to keep those watching to a maximum or 2 people per swimmer. Please use clean shoe covers when walking to the pool side. Unfortunately there isn’t space for prams and pushchairs on the pool side or in changing rooms.

Children sometimes get anxious, especially when learning new skills. Don’t worry – our teachers and assistants are trained to expect this. If your child becomes upset please trust the teacher to handle it and follow their lead. If they think your child might need a little extra TLC from you they will let you know. Please don’t try to talk to your child during a lesson as this can be distracting and confusing for them.

Yes. We always select pools with free parking and plenty of spaces available. No doubt there will be busier times than others, so please leave plenty of time to find alternatives.

There is no food permitted on pool side and, for safety reasons, neither are hot drinks. Please keep drinks to bottles and ensure you take them home with you.

You will only be refunded your lesson if we have to cancel – you would be offered a refund or an alternative date to make up the missed time. Please see our Terms & Conditions for full details of our refund policy.
