Essential Pool Information
What to wear
All Swim Academy children must be wearing appropriate swimwear – Boys should wear trunks or jammers. Girls should wear a well-fitting one-piece swimming costume. Baggy ‘Bermuda style’ shorts or baggy swimming costumes are not allowed as these can cause drag in the water and could delay your child achieving a distance swim. No wetsuits are permitted – if your child is cold we recommend a thermal base layer, not a neoprene wet suit.
Children and adults must remove loose fitting or sharp jewellery before swimming. Hoop earrings are not permitted.
All Swim Academy children must wear a swim hat – you will be given one at your first class or feel free to bring your own.
Goggles are optional but will be encouraged during class for Swim Academy children.
Baby & Pre-school: A well-fitting neoprene swim nappy must be worn with a disposable swim nappy or one of our environmentally friendly NappyWraps & Liners underneath if your child is in Floaties, Splashers or Kickers and in other programmes if they are not yet fully potty/toilet trained.
You can find our range of goggles and other Swim Accessories in our online shop.
What to bring
A padlock for lockers.
Towels left poolside or in shower area to dry off before entering changing rooms.
Changing Rooms
There are separate male/female changing rooms available. Children must change in their own gender appropriate changing rooms from the aged of 6. This is a Club rule which we must adhere to. There is a family / disabled changing room which can be used if your child is unable to change themselves at this age. Please go through the showers to enter the poolside. Blue over-shoes are available for parents dropping off Swim Academy children. You will require a padlock if you wish to use a locker.
Additional Pool Information
This pool has a strict no spectators poolside policy for all sessions.
However, through our parent rota for SWIM ACADEMY CLASSES ONLY, one parent per session can stay poolside to watch the class and assist the teaching team when needed. The rota to fill in is on the poolside wall. To ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to take part, please be mindful when adding your name to the rota. With up to 8 parents per class, it's likely each parent/adult will have a turn approximately once every 8 weeks, assuming everyone takes part. Please avoid signing up every other week, as this prevents other parents from having a fair chance. Also, if you’re not the designated parent spotter for that week, we kindly ask that you do not remain poolside, in line with the venue’s strict regulations and you will be asked by the teachers to leave the poolside.
Upon entering the building, please give your name to reception staff who will let you through the barrier. Ladies changing rooms are in front of you, men's slightly to the left – all sign posted.
Before the Lesson:
Please make sure your child has been to the toilet before their class begins, as children won’t be able to leave the pool during the lesson. For safeguarding reasons, young children must not go into the changing rooms on their own.
Arriving at the Pool:
When you arrive, please walk through the changing rooms and come onto the poolside. You will be called over to the poolside by the teachers when it’s time for your lesson to start. For club/member reasons, children are not allowed in the pool before or after their class time.
Lesson Time :
Swim Academy ONLY - once the teachers have taken your child for their lesson, we kindly ask that you leave the poolside and wait either in the changing rooms or in the reception area. This helps to keep the poolside calm and focused for the children and adhere to the no spectator policy the club has in place. Please return to the poolside at the end of the class to collect your child. Teachers will only allow children to leave the pool once they can see that their responsible adult is present.
Please bring a towel into the shower area in order that you can dry off after class before entering changing rooms to stop the floor getting so slippery.
No photography or videos of any of the classes are permitted.
