Welcome to our Queen Mary's Grammar School in Walsall pool venue!
We teach our Pre-School & Swim Academy swimming classes here at this lovely large pool.
Puddle Ducks have exclusive use of the pool during our lessons. Our expert swimming teachers tailor the lessons to progress every individual at their own pace. 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.
