Do I need to be a confident swimmer?
No! You just need to be comfortable in water. The pool is shallow enough to stand, and instructors are always present.
What if my baby cries?
Completely normal! Take a break at the side, try again, or come out if needed. There’s no pressure – come back when you’re both ready.
Can grandparents or partners come instead of me?
Absolutely! Any trusted adult can accompany your child.
Swim nappies?
Essential for all children not toilet trained. Available to buy at reception if you forget.
