We hope you will enjoy using the pool as if it were your own. To ensure that everyone is happy with privacy, security and safety, it is very important the following rules are followed:
1) At least one of the booking party must be over the age of 21.
2) Each slot is 55mins, which includes the changing time. Please do not arrive before your time slot. (If your slot is 3- 3.55pm, please do not enter the building until 3pm). Please do not over-run. There is a clock in the pool area and changing room.
3) Any children not 100% toilet trained must wear a swim nappy and a 'Happy Nappy'. These can be purchased from many locations, including Boots and Amazon. You cannot swim with your child if you do not have both types of nappies, disposable on first, then neoprene nappy over the top. We have some spare neoprene nappies, please ask. If you are found to have omitted the system and there is leakage into the water as a result, you will be liable for damages for the cleaning and sanitation of the water and filter system. This may also have an effect on the swim school lessons and we take the matter very seriously because it is wholly preventable.
4) No outdoor shoes or socks are allowed to be worn in any part of the pool building, please remove in the entrance hallway - The same applies to prams, etc.
