Frequently asked questions

How long are swimming lessons?

Our lessons are 30 minutes (including entry and exit of the pool)

Are teachers in the water during lessons?

We prefer to teach from within the water for support and demonstration. * This is subject to change should Covid-19 restrictions make it necessary.

what age can my baby start lessons?

Our water is a lovely warm 32C. Your baby can start as soon as you feel ready. There is no need to wait until they have had vaccinations. If your baby was born premature or has a medical condition please check with your GP or Health Visitor.

What do I need to bring to lessons?

For adult or older children's lessons, you will only need to bring swimwear and a towel. For baby/toddler lessons we operate the "double nappy system" - you will need to bring swimwear, a NeoNappy PLUS a liner or disposable swim nappy(if your little one is not yet toilet trained) and a towel. We recommend that you bring two towels for baby. We are a Splash About stockist; you can buy the Happy Nappy or Costume at the pool.

Can my child wear a swimming hat or goggles?

To help with pool hygiene we ask all children over 3.5 years to wear a swimming hat. We prefer that babies/toddlers and beginners do not wear goggles. Please ask your teacher.

Can I bring a pram inside?

Unfortunately there is not enough room for prams inside the building. We need to ensure that entry/exits are kept clear in case of emergencies. Please leave these in your vehicle or outside the pool building.

How long are the courses?

We run throughout the year including most school holidays. Our lessons are progressive and roll over monthly, you can leave at anytime with just one month's notice.

How will i know if your lessons are for me?

We offer one trial lesson to each new customer so that you can meet us and try our lessons, paying for just one lesson before making any further commitment. Prior booking for this is essential and subject to availability.

Do you provide a sibling discount?

Unfortunately we are not able to provide a sibling discount.

Can I have private hire of the pool or a pool party?

We specialise in swimming lessons. We do not hire the pool out to any other swim school, or for private hire, or parties.
