To provide a safe environment for your child, parents / carers must:

• be present and visible on the pool deck at all times (if your child is under the age of 10);
• come to the edge of the pool at the end of the lesson and collect your child;
• only take photos in the pool area with prior arrangement (never in the changing room area);
• follow the Watch Around Water policy for active child supervision at all times. 

Yes. If a group setting is not an appropriate learning environment for your child, we can develop swimming lessons on request to cater for children with varied needs. This may be in a small group setting or a 1:1 class, depending on the needs of the child.
