The calendar will include important dates like Safety Week and upcoming events!

If your child is in the levels from Little Wonders 01 to Little Wonders 04 you will need to be in the water with them for the lesson.

If your child is in levels 01 and above, you won't need to be in the water with them. However, we are a Watch Around Water facility which means children under the age of 10 need to be actively supervised in and around the water at all times, including during lessons. The more supervision the safer your child will be.

For more information on Watch Around the Water see HERE.
