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?
