1. Location

Cars may park in the main school carpark or safe spaces on nearby roads. Parking is free!
The pool must be accessed via foot from its High Street entrance. The pool must not be accessed via the main school grounds.
Once parked (in the main carpark or safe spaces on nearby roads), you must make a short walk down the High Street pavement until you meet the traffic lights. From here, you can walk up the gravelled area to the pool.
The pool is situated opposite the Post office.
Visitors must not park in this gravel area leading to the pool, which is reserved for residents of adjoining houses. No parking here for visitors also promotes safety for visitors and pedestrians.
You can find our main carpark at OX15 4PE. Safe spaces include those on Courtington Lane (opposite).

2. Pool Hall and Equipment

Our pool gradually slopes from 0.75 metres (excellent for beginners) to 1.8 metres. Swimmers who are unable to stand in 0.75 metres will be provided with floatation aids for the duration of their lesson.
We use noodles, kickboards and kick buoys as floatation aids and encourage swimmers to experience their own buoyancy as much as possible. We try to teach pupils without the aid of armbands.
Lane ropes are used to promote safety and aid organisation.
Fully glassed wall with adjoining lawn provides excellent surroundings.
Parents/guardians may sit on poolside in designated areas for spectators
