LeisureZone Swimming Groups
Young swimmers arriving for 6pm or 6.30 lessons must arrive 10 mins beforehand. Parents will be let through the gate and must accompany children to the poolside where each teacher will take the register for that group. After the lesson, parents must collect swimmers from poolside. Young children will not be allowed off poolside until a parent can be identified.

Anyone who doesn't yet know their Learn to Swim class on a Friday, please phone Debbie, or ask at the desk on Friday.
Parents' responsibilities
We request that parents of learn to swims stay onsite during the lesson. This is for any reason where your swimmer needs to leave the pool early. Parents of squad swimmers must leave a mobile phone number and be available to return promptly if you child needs to leave the water. Parents must deliver swimmers to the building and collect them from the building promptly after the session. HPSC cannot monitor the safety of children left in the carpark. Thank you.
