FAQ
Answers to what parents and adult beginners ask us most.
Questions parents ask
What should my child bring?
Swimsuit, towel, goggles if they like them, and a drink for afterwards. We lend caps and floats.
My child has grommets or an ear infection. Can they swim?
Usually yes with ear plugs; check with your doctor first and tell the teacher.
Can I watch the lesson?
Yes, from the viewing gallery. For the Splash stage one parent is in the water with their baby.
What if we miss a lesson?
Swap into another class at the same stage in the same week, or ask reception about a make-up session.
How do children move up a stage?
Teachers check progress every few weeks. When your child is ready, we offer a place in the next stage.
What to bring
- Swimsuit (no loose shorts) and a towel
- Goggles if your child likes them; caps are provided
- A drink and a snack for after the lesson
- For babies: a reusable swim nappy
