Essential information:
If your child is attending our Floaties, Splashers or Kickers classes they must comply with our 'Double Nappy' policy. Little Dippers MUST wear a 'double nappy' if they are not fully potty trained. Please use an approved snug-fitting neoprene (or other similar fabric) swim nappy such as our Puddle Ducks swim nappy. Under this, your child will need a reusable cotton swim nappy with a disposable liner such as our Eco NappyWrap & Liner or a disposable swim nappy.
The design of our Puddle Ducks swim nappy (stretchy neoprene with snug fitting deep waistband and leg cuffs) ensures that all ‘little accidents’ stay inside the nappy with the reusable cotton swim nappy or disposable swim nappy underneath providing an extra layer of protection (and making any ‘accidents’ so much easier to get rid of!).
TIP: A swim nappy needs to be snug around the legs and waist to do its job properly (but not too tight!)
- The swimming pool is part of the Hotel’s Feel Good Health Club
- Baby splash pool, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi are for use by club members only
