Essential Pool Information

What to wear

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. Why not buy one of our great value Starter Packs which contain everything you need for your swim lesson

What to bring

  • At least one towel or hooded towel for your youngster. These can be taken to the poolside.
  • A neoprene baby wrap, baby wetsuit or thermal top if your child is likely to get cold in the water. A great selection can be found in our online shop.
  • Some milk for your baby or a healthy snack for your toddler/child (please leave these in the car as for health and safety reasons we cannot allow food in the changing rooms or at poolside).
  • If needed, a wipeable changing mat that can be placed on the changing room floor for you to change your baby on.
  • Your own swimwear and towel if you are going in the pool with your child (a parent or guardian will be in the water in all of our Baby & Pre-school classes

Changing Rooms

There are male and female changing rooms available. There are no lockers so please avoid bringing valuables with you to your lessons if you can.

  • Aim to arrive no more than 15 minutes before your lesson and try to leave by 15 minutes after your class to help avoid changing room congestion.
  • For the same reason, please don’t bring buggies or car seats into the building.
  • Please take your used nappies home.
  • Most parents find it easiest to wrap their child in a hooded towel or robe and dress themselves before dressing their little one (but if it is very cold in winter, dress your little one first).
  • No snacks in the changing room please.
  • Please wring out your costumes at a drainage point rather than onto the changing room floor.

Additional Pool Information

We respectfully request only 1 spectator per swimmer at this venue.  

Any photography permitted will only be conducted at the end of each lesson in "Splashtime" and will only be permitted if your child/relative is moved to the side of the pool away from the rest of the customers so that they are not visible in the image.

In line with our Terms and Conditions there should be no personal photography or videography by either parents or spectators in any of our lessons or in our changing rooms at any of our venues.  The use of any devices capable of recording images is strictly prohibited in changing areas.   Full details relating to this policy can be found on the following link here, however the key point is there is strictly no photography anywhere at anytime unless authorised directly by and under the supervision of the teacher.  Kindly note in all instances the decision of the Puddle Ducks teacher is final.

Eating and Drinking (post swimming snacks included) is not permitted in any changing rooms or inside any of our venues. Across our pools and venues there are children and parents alike who suffer from food allergies some of which can be life threatening so on this basis we ask that snacks and drinks are not consumed at any venue to avoid the risk of contact which could result in someone becoming very poorly.

  • 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. 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 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 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!
