Dear Parents:

In order to optimise your child's learning experience we would ask that you and your child help us by adhering to the following instructions:-

1.  Would all boys please wear tight fitting swimming trunks as baggy trunks  fill with water and cause a lot of drag. 

2.  We do not permit children to wear arm bands as these hinder the children from learning to swim properly.

3.  Swimming goggles should be worn and adjusted properly to fit the child before they enter the pool, this allows the children to keep their eyes open and see where they are going.

4.  Children who misbehave and generally disrupt the session may be asked to leave the water.

5.  All children must keep their heads above the water unless they are told otherwise. This is a Health & Safety stipulation.

6.  All girls with long hair should have it tied back or wear a swimming hat.

7. Once the session is finished, parents/guardians must be available immediately to collect their child from the poolside - supervision of the children in the changing areas is the responsibility of parents.

8. Cubicles must not be reserved by leaving clothes in them. Ballymena Leisure Centre staff have advised us that all unattended clothing will be removed to "Lost Property".

Thank-You
