Essential Pool Information

What to wear

For Puddle Ducks lessons, a well fitting neoprene swim nappy must be worn with a disposable swim nappy or one of our environmentally friendly Nappy Wraps & Liners underneath if your child is in Floaties, Splashers or Kickers and in other programmes if they are not potty/toilet trained. Why not buy one of our great value Starter packs which contain everything you need for your swim lesson?

For Swim Academy lessons, well-fitting swimwear and a swim hat should be worn. 

What to bring

Your swimwear and towel! All equipment is provided and there is a storage area for your belongings whilst you are in your lesson. There is pram storage adjacent to the coffee shop entrance. 

Changing Rooms

Please report to reception when you arrive and you will be directed to the changing rooms. There are 9 unisex changing cubicles each containing a changing table. Customers are provided with storage facilities for their belongings and hairdryers are also provided.

Additional Pool Information

There is space poolside for up to 8 Spectators (one per swimmer) for Swim Academy lessons only. Spectators can also watch classes from the coffee shop through the large spectator window for our baby and pre-school lessons.  Siblings not swimming are not permitted to spectate poolside, and should have an adult present with them in the coffee shop during lessons. 

The coffee shop and changing rooms are on one level and are wheelchair accessible. 

Photography is only permitted during splash time at the end of your lesson and only if other patrons are not included in any images. Our Poolside Assistants are happy to help with this if you would like to capture a special moment such as that very first lesson. Photography is not allowed in the changing rooms, and is permitted at the designated photography area as long as no other patrons are captured on any images. 

There is a coffee shop on site for you to enjoy before or after your swim, serving a wide range of food and hot and cold beverages. No snacks or drinks are permitted in the changing rooms or pool hall.

9 children/adult pairs:1 teacher (Baby & Pre-school)

8 children: 2 teachers (Swim Academy Levels 1-2)

8 children: 1 teacher (Swim Academy Levels 3-4)

FAQs

  • Parents can bring their newborn as soon as they feel ready - our youngest Puddle Duck was just over a week old! We advise to allow the umbilical cord to have healed over to avoid infection, but you don't need to wait until your baby has had their jabs.

    We find that babies - as they have spent 9 months in their own watery world - have a natural affinity in our carefully selected, warm pools.

    Our programme is progressive, so you can join at any time. Your child can come to Puddle Ducks at any age between 0-10 years. We have Baby & Pre-school classes for 0-4 and our Swim Academy for primary school aged children up to 10.

    Each of the programmes focuses on nurturing confidence - our teachers know that children develop and learn at different rates, so will adjust each activity to get the best out of each child and encourage positive progression.

  • If your child is in Floaties, Splashers, Kickers, Little Dippers, Dippers or Dabblers in our Baby & Pre-school programme then yes, you will be in the water with them throughout the lesson, these sessions provide a fabulous bonding experience between you and your child and is all about building their water confidence.

    If your child is in any of our Swim Academy classes (i.e. they are in primary school) they will be in the water on their own, with two teachers in the water and a ratio of 1 teacher:4 children. If the pool allows spectators, you will be able to watch from poolside.

    • If you know that you won't be able to attend before the class takes place, you can let us know via your My Puddle Ducks account on both your Overview page and also your My Children page by clicking on ‘Let us know you can’t attend a lesson’ and following the instructions. This will generate a Courtesy Class for you to then use against any lesson where there is space in the next 6 months (provided you are currently in paid-for lessons). Read more in our Courtesy Classes FAQs.
    • If your child has a chest, ear, throat or eye infection they shouldn’t swim until it has completely cleared.
    • Please don’t bring your child to the pool during, or for two weeks after, suffering from diarrhoea.
    • Going swimming is unlikely to worsen a mild cold and will not increase the likelihood of an ear infection unless your baby has a perforated eardrum.
    • Please do not bring your child to a swimming class with anything that could be infectious, such as chickenpox, which is considered infectious until all the blisters have dried up.
    • It’s worth remembering that children are often exhausted after an illness and need some time to recuperate before returning to their swimming lessons.
    • We can’t offer a refund for missed classes, your payment secures your place in your class and the class takes place as usual if you are unable to attend but this is why we offer Courtesy Classes, because we understand life doesn’t always go to plan with a little one!
