Swimming
Please come and swim in our pool! Please bring your children/grandchildren and friends.
Times when the pool is available
Unfortunately, due to the cooler weather, we can no longer keep the pool temperature above 72F-74F, so we will close the pool on 31st August.
We hope that you have enjoyed using it!
Notebook
Please write your name on the notebook in the pool shed, so I can contact you if I need to, eg if someone has left some goggles behind.
Temperature
We try to keep the pool at 80F. If the weather has been cold or the pool has been in uncovered a lot because it has been in use, the temperature might drop a few degrees, but, even then, it is usually above 76F.
When you arrive
Please don't worry about telling us that you are here. Just turn up and enjoy the pool. Richard and I will usually be working, but please don’t worry about children shouting, because it won’t bother us. Please don't play music.
There are a couple of fragile items that need a bit of extra care, so please could they be operated by adults:
-
If the small blue pump is on the cover, please remove it by gently pulling the black electric cable, rather than the hose. If the hose is tugged, it often breaks off the pump. If it breaks off, we can fix it, but it's better not to fix it too often.
-
Please turn the key to open/close the cover just until the cover is opened/closed. Sometimes, children become distracted and don't realise that they should stop turning the key and this places extra pressure on the mechanism.
Whilst you are here
If the kitchen or back door is open, please use the loo, make drinks, etc. Please feel free to use the electric pump for inflatables, which is in the pool shed.
If the key for the pool cover is not in the control on the RHS of the pool shed, it is under a brick just beneath the control.
When you leave
If you are the last to leave, please lock the pool shed and close the pool cover. Please leave the key for the cover under a brick beneath the cover control pad.
If you have any problems
If you need to contact me, please call 07747-111336.
