Babies
A disposable swim nappy must be worn under a Happy Nappy
The Happy Nappy can be bought on Amazon, with this link.
The Happy Nappy is very important to avoid toileting accidents in the pool. Keeping our pool in top cleanliness is of top priority.
Pre-schoolers
A disposable swim nappy must be worn if still toilet training.
A swim hat is required. If needed swim hats can be bought on poolside. My swim hats are made of nylon fabric rather than silicone, so much easier to put on.
Goggles if needed.
Remember your towel!
School age children and adults
Swim hat
Swimming costume and towel

Illnesses and Conditions Policy for Swimming Lessons
To ensure the health and safety of all participants, we have established the following policy regarding illnesses and medical conditions:
General Health Requirements:
- Participants should be in good health to attend swimming lessons. If your child or you are experiencing symptoms of illness, please refrain from attending until fully recovered.

- A minimum of 48 hours symptom-free period is required before returning to lessons after a contagious illness.
Medical Conditions:
- If your child or you have a medical condition that may affect participation in swimming lessons, please inform us prior to starting the program. This includes conditions such as asthma, epilepsy, diabetes, or any other condition that requires special attention.
- A doctor's note may be required to confirm that it is safe for the individual to participate in swimming lessons.
Serious Injuries:
- If your child or you sustain a serious injury, such as a broken bone, that impacts the ability to swim, please provide a doctor’s note. Refunds or credits for future lessons will be considered on a case-by-case basis with appropriate medical documentation.
Emergency Procedures:
- In the event of a medical emergency during a lesson, our instructors are trained in first aid and CPR. We will follow emergency protocols to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants.
By adhering to this policy, we aim to provide a safe and healthy environment for everyone involved in our swimming programs. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
