Can we bring our own pool toys?
Yes you can. If you would like to bring your own toys please ensure that they are soft. All toys and swim aids must be taken home again.

Can I take photos?
As you have the pool to yourselves, you are welcome to take photos.

Why does it say ‘no diving, jumping or bombing’?
Because of the design of the pool, it is not safe to do any of the above.

Does the time we book include getting changed?
Yes, your time includes getting changed. We ask that you are ready to leave promptly, this ensures that we have time to prepare the pool for the next swimmers.

Can my baby swim with nothing on?
No. All babies must use the double nappy system. This is using a disposable swim nappy, with a reusable ‘happy nappy’ over the top. These fit securely around the thighs and waist and ensure that any accidents stay securely in the nappy. Disposable nappies may be disposed of in the bin on site. Happy nappies are a good idea even for toilet trained toddlers, as when they are enjoying themselves, accidents do happen.

If an accident happens, this can close the pool for several hours. Using a happy nappy doesn’t just save the pool, it saves embarrassment too.
