Never bring your child swimming if they have any significant illness such as an ear infection, chicken pox or a bad cold.  In the case of sickness and/or diarrhoea, all symptoms must have cleared for at least 48 hours before bringing your child to the pool. (Hopefully you’ll never see the mess a liquid leak can cause - a sure-fire reason for having to cancel all lessons!)

When it comes to any medical condition, we ask that you always check with your doctor or other health practitioner before attending lessons. We might know our stuff in water, but when it comes to things like chest infections we too can be a bit flummoxed.

In signing the Terms and Conditions form you need to have completed before commencing the course, please note that you are taking responsibility for the fact that, should you answer ‘yes’ regarding any medical conditions you or your baby might have, you have checked things out with your doctor before starting. Incidentally, this responsibility is then passed on to any other parent or carer who might bring your child swimming for you.
