First Impressions

Right from the beginning, when you pull into the car park, it is clear that our pool has been tailored to cater for swimming lessons. There is space for 20 cars and a dedicated path at the front of the building, ensures a safe route to the pool. Entrance to the facilities is via a lobby area, allowing the pool side to be kept clean of tiny muddy feet. The heated lobby has many games and toys to keep little ones entertained.

Careful thought has gone into the shower and toilet amenities. Having a combined wet room, additional space has been gained at the pool side. It allows for easy cleaning, increasing the hygiene. A big bonus with so many toddlers!.

There are three modern, clean and spacious changing rooms, two of which are individual and the third being a larger communal room, ideal for up to four parents with babies. The design of the changing rooms, maximises the available space. There is plenty of storage area for belongings. For our younger visitors parents are encouraged to bring their own changing mats. For lessons where parents are not entering the water, shoe covers are provided to maintain cleanliness around the pool.

Comfort

Once pool side, access into the water is via standard pool ladders. The pool is just short of 8m in length by 5m wide with a constant depth of a little over 1.2m. Underwater lighting is available, which can be of benefit to teachers when demonstrating a new stroke. Teachers have access to a wall mounted iPad for music and internet availability, if required.

Two large cushioned sofas are provided for parents to enjoy whilst watching the development of their child. There is additional seating in the lobby area, which doubles as equipment storage, leaving both the lobby and pool side clean, safe and tidy. Our external deck chairs are always a popular choice during the summer months. During the later months of the year when the nights are drawing in, the entire exterior of the building is illuminated by automated lights.

Water Quality

Being popular with so many parents of tiny babies, the water quality is of the utmost importance. We have a fully automated commercial dosing system in place, with two independent measuring technologies, providing a backup should one fail. These systems measure the Chlorine, pH, temperature, ORP and TDS. With all the important measurements constantly recorded. We have a Company who provide us with a rigorous maintenance and calibration routine. The results, as can be seen, is crystal clear safe water.
