Essential Information:

- 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 potty/toilet trained.

Helping you to make your special time last even longer...that’s the Puddle Ducks’ difference
You’re likely to be swimming with friends and make new ones along the way, so why not live life swimmingly away from the pool by meeting up before or after class. Here are some local places we think you and your children may like (please check Covid-19 restrictions before attending these places):
Closest play-park
There is a play-park on site near to the car park.
Closest cafe
The Cafe H coffee shop is available on site (please note only food bought at the café can be consumed).
Closest soft play
There is an indoor soft play area next to the cafe (this is an open plan area). There is also Magicland soft play in Cirencester.
