Kids

Did you know there is one single activity that can boost your child’s confidence, give them a full body work-out, burn up excess energy, improve their balance, posture and co-ordination, improve social skills, and keep them cool on a hot day?

All this can be achieved while they play in our pools, under the watchful eye of qualified lifeguards.

Yes, it’s a known fact that swimming is one of the most enjoyable – and beneficial – activities a child can engage in, whether it’s as a serious sporting interest or just a bit of fun splashing about in the pool.

Here at Hampton Pool, we’ve got all sorts of swimming options available for kids of all ages, right from small babies through to the mid-teens.

If you don’t fancy taking part in formal swim lessons, you can bring the kids along and join in our casual recreational swim sessions. All children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult in the water at all times, and anyone who is a weak or non-swimmer must stay in the shallow end and preferably wear buoyancy aids.

There are two pools. Half of the large main pool is kept free for playful dips and casual cooling-off during recreational swim sessions. Most small children, however, take the plunge in the shallow teaching pool with its gentle graduation from the steps to a maximum depth of 0.9 metres.
