Glossop Pool Lessons

Splash Class Swimming Programme

Welcome to Leisure Services Splash Class Swimming Programme. A progressive scheme that caters for all ages and abilities; from the complete non-swimmer through to the master swimmer. Emphasis is placed on the acquisition and development of sound stroke techniques with the programme being complemented by a full range of badges and certificates.

We hope you enjoy the challenge!

Visit our online store at www.highpeakleisure.com for everything your child needs to start swimming. We sell swimwear, goggles, armbands, rings, baby seats, earplugs, nose clips and floats. You can order and pay online and have your goods posted to you, or you can collect them from the High Peak Leisure site of your choice.

Requests for new places on Swimming Lessons:

If you want to enrol on Splash Class Lessons, please complete a form at reception between Week 1 of the current course. All forms are dated, numbered and processed in order.

Forms are processed on Monday of Week 12. Please contact reception on Monday of Week 12, after 2pm, to confirm that the class you requested was available. You will need to pay for the class on that day. We cannot hold your place without payment. Please remember that there is no guarantee that spaces will be available.

Re-enrolment is on Week 11, from Oct 31-Nov 6, 2008. Payment for next enrolment will take place that week for customers already on lessons.

The next course will start Friday, November 14, 2008.

Information for Parents

• Parents may view lessons from the pool balcony/viewing area and not poolside.
• If parents wish to speak to swimming teachers regarding their child, please do so through the Teacher’s message book.
• Please ensure that you update the reception staff with any changes to your contact details.
• Programming of the lessons involves a great deal of organisation, as all children need to be assessed before the new timetable is completed. We do try to group family members close together, but with so many children on the programme this may not be possible, as classes of the required ability may not take place at that time.
• We may be required to change courses or teachers when necessary.
• Courses may be subject to cancellation if there is insufficient demand following enrolments. Transfers will be offered where possible.
• Owing to Child Protection issues, parents must stay with children whilst they are changing before and after each lesson.
• Would parents please note that ‘trunks and one piece costumes’ are preferable for learning to swim and that swim hats are to be worn where necessary or alternatively the hair tied back.
• Refunds are ONLY given on receipt of medical proof. This will be done in the form of a credit towards future courses. All medical information will be treated in confidence with the utmost sensitivity.
• Anyone who requires an alternative day or time to the one given, may change if a place is available. Or alternatively, you may swap on the day designated (subject to availability). Ask at reception for further details.

Re-Enrolment

We provide information on the re-enrolment on:

• A banner;
• Posters displayed in the centres in the weeks running up to enrolment week;
• Countdown chart; and
• The website

If you are unable to attend during re-enrolment week, then please ask at reception about leaving payment to secure your child’s place.
