SEND swim
On the first Saturday of each month at 9:00am, we offer a swim session in the Leisure Pool designed to support individuals with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). To create a calmer and more comfortable environment, there will be no music, waves, or pool features in use. This session runs during term time only.
