⚠️ 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! 💦

Just a friendly reminder:

If you’re using the spa, steam room or sauna please remember that you need to wear your blue band! This shows our lifeguard team that you’ve got a membership or have access to these areas. 🏊
