Our baby and toddler classes have a maximum of 6 children each. Pre-school classes have a maximum of 5 children.

Yes, all our classes are parent & child classes. 

The best way to do this is to swap each week. However we do ask that only one grown up comes in with each child at any one time.

The pool is 7m length, 4m width and 1.2 depth and is well-suited for beginners, providing a safe environment for learning.

We welcome babies from 2 months old. The latest advice from the NHS is that babies do not need immunisations before swimming.

We ask that all babies & children under 4 wear a double nappy system. This means a swim nappy (disposable or reusable) must be worn with a neoprene nappy or shorts over the top.

There are many different types of swim suits available; from traditional swimming costumes to neoprene warm suits and wraps. Warm suits and wraps are designed to keep little ones warmer for longer. If you need to purchase swim wear, please use our referral link for 10% off: https://www.konfidence.co.uk/?ref=swimwithkayleigh

No we use some swimming aids in class but we also encourage children to free swim regularly.

Please do not arrive more than ten minutes before your class. 

This time is more than enough for little brains to focus and learn in the water. 

No you do not. We do encourage you to put your face in and blow bubbles if you are comfortable to as this does help with your child’s development. If you are nervous please let us know.

Due to limited space spectators must wait in reception and during busy periods are limited to one adult per child in water.

We understand that families like to capture photos of their little ones. This is a normal part of family life. However not everyone may have given concent therefore we will not allow spectators to photograph or film children during a class. When you sign up to lessons it will ask you for photo consent. We may take photographs of children whilst engaged in classes. Permission will always be asked prior to any photos being taken.

Parents should assess how ill your child is, there is no issue with them having a little cold we just ask you to use your common sense. Please do not bring your child swimming if they have any open wounds or illness such as an ear infection, diarrhoea, chicken pox, impetigo, conjunctivitis or coronavirus. Tummy bugs and sickness can spread quickly and we ask that all children stay out of the pool for two weeks after symptoms have stopped. This is to prevent spreading germs like Cryptosporidium and norovirus, which can survive in water for a long time.

We always try to offer you a catch-up class if you need to miss a class due to illness or planned holiday. You can view our catch-up class policy and request a catch-up here:  https://form.jotform.com/242449457839371
