Everything Happening in the Pool This August
Written by Abigael Wilson
Whether you’re building your child’s confidence with structured lessons or just looking for a fun way to splash about together as a family, there’s plenty going on in our pools this August. Here’s your guide to what’s on, when, and how to make the most of it.
Swim School: Lessons for Every Age
Our Swim School offers a range of classes for children and adults of all ages and abilities, from first-time waterbabies through to confident swimmers working on technique and endurance. Lessons are designed to build skills gradually, so everyone progresses at a pace that’s right for them.
We offer three main lesson categories, so there’s an option for every member of the family:
- Pre-school Swimming Lessons, for our youngest swimmers building water confidence
- Junior Swimming Lessons, developing technique and skills as children grow
- Adult Swimming Lessons, for grown-ups looking to learn or improve their swimming
If you’re not sure which class is right for your child, our Swim School team can advise based on age, confidence in the water, and any previous experience. It’s never too late to start, and it’s never too early either, some of our youngest swimmers join us before they can even walk.
You can find the right Swim School membership for your family and view current lesson times on our website.
This August: Refer a Friend
If your child loves their lessons, chances are you know another family who’d benefit too. This August, when you refer a friend to Swim School, you’ll both receive a free month.
It’s simple: share the confidence and water safety your child has gained, and get rewarded for it. More friends in the pool, more progress to celebrate, and a free month for you both.
Speak to a member of our Swim School team today to find out more, or refer a friend directly through the app.
T&Cs apply.
Family Float: Summer Drop-In Fun
Looking for something a little more relaxed? Our Family Float sessions are a drop-in way to enjoy the pool together, no lessons, no lanes, just family time in the water. This summer, they’re part of our Summer Thriving offer, with every session just £2 from 27th July to 31st August.
Waterlooville Family Float times:
- Saturday & Sunday: 11.30am – 12.45pm
- Monday, Wednesday & Thursday: 1.30pm – 2.30pm
- Friday: 2.15pm – 3.30pm
Havant Family Float times:
- Tuesday: 12.30pm – 1.30pm & 1.45pm – 2.45pm
- Thursday: 12.30pm – 1.30pm
- Friday: 1.45pm – 2.45pm
Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult in the water at all times, and non-swimmers should stay within arm’s reach of a parent or carer throughout the session. As always, wristbands are used for pool entry, so please keep yours on and visible during your visit.
Membership or Pay As You Go?
With so much on this summer, Adult Lane Swimming, Aqua Fit, Public Swimming, TidalX, Family Float and more, running most days across both centres, a membership is the easiest way to make the most of it all without thinking twice each time you visit.
You’re welcome to pay as you go for Family Float sessions and general swimming throughout August, there’s no obligation to commit to anything. But if you’re planning to swim regularly, whether that’s a weekly Family Float, a few lane swims a week, or joining in on classes like Aqua Fit, a membership works out considerably cheaper over the summer than paying per visit, and means you can drop in whenever suits without worrying about the cost each time.
Find the right membership for your family and make this the summer you get the most out of the pool.
