⚠️ Did you know?
If a glass bottle breaks near the pool, we must close the pool to keep everyone safe. 🚧

Our team then needs to check the whole pool and surrounding area and remove every tiny piece of glass. This can take a while - but safety has to come first.

💧 You can help us avoid closures.

Please bring non‑glass bottles when you visit the centre.
Your choice helps us keep our pools open, safe, and enjoyable for everyone. Thank you! 🌊

🐠 Helpful tips for our little swimmers

For some little ones, wearing a swim cap for the first time can feel a bit different. That's why we recommend trying one at home before lessons start. A quick practice in the bath or shower can help build confidence and make lesson time feel more familiar.

💡 Prefer something a little softer? Lycra caps are a comfortable alternative to silicone caps and can be easier to put on.

💧 Swimming caps are required for all Learn to Swim students aged 3 years and over.

Happy swimming! 💦

Let's keep everyone safe! 📢

All children aged 10 years and under must be actively supervised by a caregiver aged 17 years and over.

🗯️ Actively supervising means:
☑️ You are in the water and within arms' reach with your children aged 4 years and under
☑️ You are ready to help your children aged 5-10 years immediately. Even if you're not in the pool with them, you should be near your children so you can hear them and they can hear you.

🔊 We do not consider you to be actively supervising if you are using a mobile phone, or in a sauna or spa.
