Swim School Rules

  • Appropriate Swim Wear

    Please ensure your child attends lessons wearing appropriate swimwear. 


    Swim shorts that are below the knee and bikinis are not allowed and may result in your child being unable to participate in lessons 

  • Changing Room Use

    Please note that once children are aged 8+ they must use the correct gender-changing area, even if this means they are unaccompanied in the changing area. 


    We request that when assisting small children parents should use the correct gender-changing area for the adult, not the child. At some of our venues the changing facilities are also used by adults either before or after our lessons. 

  • Swim hats & goggles

    Swim hats are compulsary for all children aged 3+ years old. You could choose to use the swim hat from your joining pack or an alternative.  This is to aid in providing a hygienic swimming environment and to keep hair out of children's faces.  


    If your child would like to wear goggles they are welcome to do so. Most children in Neptune Swim School do choose to wear goggles. 


    Goggles and swim hats approved by the Neptune team can be purhased from Neptune Swim Shop and delivered to lessons.

  • Photography

    All photography during swimming lessons is strictly prohibited. 


    If your child has a class teddy or homework that requires a photo of them at swimming, please contact the class teacher at the start of the lessons and we will arrange for a photo to be taken in a quiet section of the pool. 

  • Sickness Policy

    We politely ask all customers to refrain from bringing their children to swimming lessons if they have had sickness and or diarrhoea in the last 48 hours.


    Children with chickenpox are only permitted to swim once all the spots have dried up.
