Fantastic achievement for PJ. Age 7. Came to our swim school at the beginning of our first term and couldn’t swim off his noodle. Once it clicked it clicked and the last couple of lessons he’s been swimming the whole length of the pool on his own. Unaided Incredible! Well done Pj see you after the holidays x

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL SWIM PARENTS Please arrive for your swimming lesson as ready as possible and as close to your lesson time as you can. Our changing rooms are out of service. We politely ask for ONE parent to bring your child too the lesson. This will help the viewing area from getting to busy.... You MUST be wearing face coverings when entering the hotel and whilst sat watching your child swim. Unless you are eating or drinking. One family to a table. If there is no space down by the pool you must find a table elsewhere in the hotel please. I’m so sorry for having to put such strict rules into place but your safety and our safety is most important. And we want to keep our swimming lessons running the best and most safe way possible. Thanks for your cooperation Ellie & Regan
