Help with Swimming Lessons

Our Crèche team are here if you need help with Swimming lessons or looking after one child while you are swimming with the other.

For more information, ask one of our Crèche staff, subject to availability.

How does the swimming change over work?

We can collect your child from the pool at your preferred time, bring them into the crèche and get them dried and dressed. We can also change your child into their swim stuff in the creche and pass them into the pool to you as the parent, or we can offer to drop off the child and then pick back up service. We ask parents to ensure they book this correctly on the creche bookings to allow ratio numbers to be followed in the crèche.
