Q: DO WE HAVE LOCKERS?
A: Yes. We have lockers in both changing rooms. They require a token to lock. You can obtain a token from our reception desk in exchange for £1 and your £1 is refunded to you after you return the token to us.
Q: WHAT ARE THE AGES OF THE SWIMMING CLASSES?
A. Tiddler Tales: These are classes where parent/careers must accompany the babies/children in the water. .We group our classes for children under 2 years in 6 month age bands so that they are all at similar developmental stages.
According to most recent advice you no longer have to wait until babies have had their inoculations. We then have a class for children 2 to 3 year olds with parents/careers
Pre-school: 3-5yrs or when they start full time school
After school: 5yrs +.or children at full time school

Q: WHAT SHOULD MY CHILD WEAR IN THE POOL?
A: All babies must wear a swimming nappy with a happy nappy over the top or something with tight fitting legs and waist to prevent any leakages should they occur. This is a double nappy system which all parents must ensure their babies wear. You can buy all this in our swim shop at the centre.
For fully toilet trained children regular swim wear is required.
We advise boys not to wear long knee length swim shorts of girl’s bikinis as this can restrict their swimming.

A: No unfortunately due to our child protection we do not allow any photos to be taken except at swimming parties where a you are required to fill out a form.
