Essential information:

  • Riverside House drive is opposite Tollgate Gallery and the Old Methodist Church/Hall on Lechlade High Street (A417 leading to the A361).
  • The entrance to the pool is up the drive at the back of the house. Walk past the house to the end of the building along the high street heading out of Lechlade (do not go down the lane next to The Cats Pyjamas. The image above shows the side of the house closest to the Cats Pyjamas, this is not the side of the house you want). Walk up the drive through the gate, through the car park, and the pool is down on the left. The buggy park is just behind the pool. This will all be clearly sign posted.
  • 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. Why not buy one of our great value Starter Packs which contain everything you need for your swim lesson?
  • You can find lots more useful information about attending our swim classes on our FAQs page

Changing rooms: There are 2 small changing rooms, a toilet and shower and plenty of room around the edge of the pool for your belongings.

Exclusivity: Puddle Ducks have exclusive use of this pool during lessons

Access: There is limited room poolside so we ask that there are no spectators for busy lessons (such as the weekend classes)

Poolside assistant: There is a poolside assistant at this venue

Additional Information: Due to limited space around the pool, we would advise wearing shoes that can be easily slipped on and off before and after lessons.

Technical information:

  • Depth: 0.9 - 1.3m at the deepest point
  • Maximum class ratios: 8 children/adult pairs:1 teacher
