We provide adult & child lessons, child only lessons and adult only lessons. Parents/guardians are always in the pool for adult & child lessons. These 

are clearly labelled.

We prefer to teach in the pool rather than poolside. In Hall Cross deep end teachers will be poolside.

In our child only classes there is 1 teacher per 6 children. In classes over

6 there will be 2 teachers and a maximum of 9 children in a class.

For adult lessons, you will only need to bring swim wear and a towel.

For child lessons, you will need to bring swim wear, a NeoNappy

(if your little one is not yet toilet trained) and a towel. We recommend you bring a changing mat to change baby on.

A swimming costume or trunks.

If your child is confidently using the toilet, then a swimming costume or trunks. If your child is not yet toilet trained then we require a double nappy system - an under nappy (such as a bambino mio swim nappy) then a neoprene happy nappy over the top.Please try and avoid overly baggy

shorts

as these create 'Drag' in the water

To look after your NeoNappy and ensure the Lycra lasts as long as possible

it is important to care for it properly.

After use, hand rinse in cold water as soon as possible to remove chlorine.

If you need to wash the nappy (if it has been soiled) then wash at 30

degrees with a gentle detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Dry away from

a heat source in the shade. Do not tumble dry. Do not iron.

Your neoprene nappy should fit nice and snug, this is to prevent any

spillages from the thighs and waistband. You should be able to fit one

finger inside the thigh band and the waist band. If you are unsure, please

ask your teacher who will advise.

Accidents in the pool can, and do, cause pool closures and have cancelled lessons so please be vigilant. No-one knows babies cues better than their grown-ups. If you see signs that they are going to fill the nappy, please exit

the pool until you have changed your little one.
