No, this is a relaxed swimming session watched over by lifeguards. We're not swimming teachers.

Armbands aren't required but are recommended for young children.

Baby change facilities available in the small pool changing rooms. There's dedicated space for buggies too.

The pool is 1m deep and pool floats are provided.

It's recommended to arrive at 14:30 to start getting changed for the 14:45 session.

The small pool is maintained at 29°C (standard temperature) - much warmer than the main pool. Still, watch your little one's comfort as some prefer it warmer.

No, this is not endorsed, affiliated or supported in any way by Life Leisure. It's an entirely informal gathering organised by parents.

Padlocks are required but can be bought at reception (£3). Many leave lockers unlocked without issues, but we recommend securing valuables.

You can book via [Life Leisure](https://www.lifeleisure.net/centre/hazel-grove/) (look for 'Fun Swim' sessions in the small pool), but most of us just turn up on the day. It's only over subscribed in school holidays.

That's chill. Arrive when you arrive - just come say hi when you get there.

There's free parking in the Life Leisure car park.

Yes, it's £5 per adult, and babies are free.

Best for under 3s, but there's no strict limit. It's a great session for babies and toddlers.

Maximum 30 people (approx 14 babies), but usually much fewer.

It's a fun swim and splash session for babies and friendly parents. The pool is 1m deep with floats provided.

It's sometimes nice to share food in the cafe area afterwards if people want to stay and chat.

Because "we" is often "I" and I, Tim am often bored and am a professional web developer - www.tdobson.net - so I built this "for fun".
