You and your family's safety is our biggest concern - whether it's in the pool or around the centre - we want you to be safe and comfortable.
We've had our photo policy for sometime now and most people are happy to take a little extra care when snapping photos or taking videos of their little ones swimming, ensuring that only their family members are in shot.
But technology advances and we have noticed people coming into the centre wearing Meta Glasses or AI Sunnies. If we see them, we will ask you to remove them whilst you are in the centre. Just pop them away in your bag to ensure no one's privacy is threatened.
So please, NO META GLASSES in our Centre. Please remember to take them off

If your child learns differently or has some challenges, this could be perfect! If you think it’s about time you learned to swim yourself - this could be the stars aligning!

Drowning prevention doesn't begin when someone falls into the water.
It begins long before that.
Because Francesca had the chance to learn, she's developing skills that will support her for years to come.
That's what prevention looks like.
Not reacting after tragedy.
Creating opportunities before it happens.
Every lesson matters. Every child matters.
