Welcome to our Telford Hotel, Golf & Spa pool venue!

We teach our Swim Academy swimming classes here in this Shropshire based venue for children age 4+.  

Puddle Ducks have use of a large roped off area in this stunning hotel pool during lesson times.  Our expert swimming teachers tailor the lessons to progress every individual at their own pace as we want all of our children to love the water and learn to swim beautifully in a fun, relaxed environment.

You'll find all the information that you need for this pool below. We look forward to seeing you at the pool!
