Swimming pools
We currently use four pools for our swimming lessons. Woodlawn School swimming pool in Monkseaton, Beacon Hill School swimming pool in Wallsend, and Percy Hedley School swimming pool in Killingworth are all hydrotherapy pools. We find that the increased temperatures allow the children to remain focused on the activities and not become as distracted.
Benfield Sports Centre in Newcastle is used for our more advanced swimming lessons and our Synergy Swim, adult sessions. This is a cooler pool which allows swimmers to swim for longer periods to build up their stamina and for fitness.

Parking
There is no set area for parking and we are not permitted to use the school car park at all. There are places to park along the street but please be aware of the disabled parking bays and dropped kerbs.
Access
The pool is down the driveway between Woodlawn School and Langley First school, you will see the pool on your right. As you approach the main entrance you will see a fire door to your right with ramped access. Please use this entrance and not the main school entrance. Prams and pushchairs may be brought into the lobby area but are not to be taken into the changing areas at all.
Hygiene
No food or drink may be consumed in the pool area or within the changing rooms for hygiene reasons.
Nappies
For those attending the Little Splashers classes we require a double nappy policy. Babies should wear a disposable swim nappy and a neoprene swim nappy over the top. This helps prevent any possible leaking from the nappy.
For those in the Little Swimmers classes, if your child is toilet trained then a normal swimming costume should be fine.

There is a car park to the side of the sports centre to be allocated for swimmers. You need to turn left at the junction before the school entrance, as if you are going to the sports centre. The car park is then on your right.
Access
There are several entrances into the sports centre but we have been asked to direct swimmers in from the side car park. A map can be provided prior to lessons once you have booked your place with us.
