If there is an emergency the instructor will order everyone out of the pool. He/she will decide whether it is possible to continue. In the event of evacuation of the building, (such as a fire) the instructor and pool attendant will order all children out of the building. Children must not stop to collect their belongings. Survival blankets are provided. The children must gather outside the building and must not leave until everyone is accounted for. Ensure all children in your care are under control, the floor is always wet & slippery. Please do not bring prams into the changing room as space is very limited and entrances/exits must not be blocked.

Please use the new entrance on Hothfield Street. Do not use the school entrance as before as we no longer have control of this entrance. There is a security lock on the door and you may need to knock to get in.

Please do not use mobile telephones in the changing room or in the pool area. If you wish to take a photograph of your child in the pool please speak with your instructor before doing so as we need to make sure only your child is in the photo.
