Procedures For Lessons

  • Please drop your child or children off at the main entrance where staff will be waiting to collect your children for their lesson 5 minutes before their lesson is duet to start.
  • Children are to arrive beach ready - in their swimming costume, with goggles and a swimming hat. We have goggles available to buy for £6.50 and swimming hats available to buy for £7. Please let us know if you would like to purchase some. No towels etc will be allowed onto poolside.
  • Parents are to take their children’s towel etc with them, and have them ready for when you collect your child or children at the end of their lesson.
  • Children will have their lesson and be taken to the changing rooms, where parents are to collect their child or children.
  • Only ONE parent is allowed in with children to change them. If there are 2 or more children, we will allow more than one parent if needed, however, there is limited space in the changing rooms.
  • Please make sure you arrive on time to drop your child or children off for their lesson and arrive 5 minutes early for picking them up at the end of the lesson.
  • If you are late for your lesson, we cannot guarantee that your child will be allowed in.
  • Please ensure your child or children have their own goggles, as we will NOT have any for them to borrow. We have goggles available to buy for £6.50 if needed. Please let us know if you would like to purchase some.
  • We advise you to put a swimming hat on your children for their lesson, especially if they have long hair. We do have some arriving soon which you will be able to purchase. This will keep your child’s hair dry if put on correctly. Staff are not allowed to put these on your children, so if you wish for your child to wear one, please make sure that they have it on ready when dropping them off for their lesson. We have swimming hats available to buy for £7.
  • Parents are to wait in their cars during the lessons during weekday lessons.
  • The viewing area is open on weekends for parents to watch the swimming lessons.
  • Please ensure your child has been to the toilet before they come for their lesson. There is a disabled toilet which we can use on poolside if necessary.
  • Please ensure children do not have an all in one swimming costume on with a zip, if they are unable to take it off and put it back on themselves, as we will not be able to help them if they go to the toilet. They must be able to do this by themselves.
