Everything that says Book Now is available.

Yes, in Ormskirk you can sit poolside and in Southport you can sit in the cafe area at the window which looks onto the pool. At both pools there is limited space, so we ask that spectators be kept to a minimum.

Yes, we think this is really important to support our little sharks. Being in the water enables us to help keep our swimmers safe, correct and demonstrate technique and build trust and rapport.

Here’s a quick checklist of all the essentials:

• Swimming costume or shorts for your little one (your child will get changed poolside so needs to have this on under their clothes)

• Goggles (optional)

• Towel

• Hair bobbles to tie back hair or, ideally, swim cap

• Well-fitting Konfidence Happy Nappy over your child’s normal swim nappy if they aren’t yet potty trained

• Post-swimming snack!

Please note: all equipment, including floatation equipment will be provided.

When you book in, you’ll pay by debit or credit card. 

You can do this via the Parent Portal.

Unfortunately, this isn’t something we’re able to offer as a general rule. When you book your child in for swimming lessons we make a financial commitment in advance to ensure that the pool and teachers are available to provide the lessons you’ve booked in for. That financial commitment remains even if you’re unable to attend a lesson.

If you are booked in for a 1:1 and know that your child will be off for a set period of time (for instance due to breaking a bone or lengthy illness), it may be possible for us to fill that space for you, in which case we will offer you a credit against your next invoice.

If we have any ad hoc availability for a make up class in the same week as your child’s missed lesson, we will let you know where possible. Please note this is at our discretion and isn’t guaranteed.

All available lessons will say Book Now next to them. Please contact us via the Parent Portal to let us know which lesson to swap your child over to.

If there isn’t a suitable lesson available, let us know which is your preferred lesson and we can let you know when it is available.

If you wish to cancel your child’s swimming lessons then please email hello@daddysharkswimschool.com message us via the Parent Portal. We will then confirm the date of your child’s last lesson (which will be the last date of the current lesson term or 30 days from the date of your message, whichever is later).
