A QUIETER SWIM OPTION
Not every child wants music, sprinklers and a busy pool — and that's exactly why the Toddler/SEN Swim exists. Running Monday and Thursday from 9:00am to 9:45am in the little pool, it's a calmer, 45-minute session for under 8s, with no music and no sprinklers. It's simply a quieter environment for younger children to enjoy a safe splash. Swimming ratios apply throughout.
HALLOWEEN CAFÉ TREATS
Half term is thirsty, hungry work. The Braywick café will have "Spooktacular" Halloween treats and drinks on offer all week — grab something between sessions and make a morning of it.
