Please come and swim in our pool! 

​

Hosepipe ban: the pool loses water every day through splashing, evaporation and cleaning (because we have to flush out the filter). The pool has to stay full in order for the filter to work, so please help us to keep the pool full by:

• Asking your children not to jump into the pool. Diving is fine, but jumping generally displaces lots of water.

• Filling the small red trug in the pool shed with water from the tap on the LHS of the pool shed and pouring it into the pool. As a rough estimate, 5 trugs per family per hour would be a great help. Please don't worry if you can't help, but it would be fantastic if everyone who is able could pitch in.

THANK YOU.

 

Times when the pool is available

10am-12pm Monday to Saturday: adults only.

2pm-6pm Monday to Saturday: all ages.

Please leave the pool area by 6pm, so that we can clean the pool, work on the chemicals, etc. If we check the pool and find we need to clean it, it takes about an hour, so we need to get started at 6pm.

​​​

Dates on which the pool will be closed

We will have to close the pool on some days for an event, chemical problems, etc, so please check this page before you come.

The pool will be closed:

• 18th August.

The last day on which the pool will be open is Saturday 22nd August.​

​

​​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 27C. If the weather has been cold or the pool has been in use a lot, the temperature might drop a few degrees, but, even then, it is usually above 25C. 

​​​

When you arrive

Please don't worry about telling us that you are here.  Just turn up and enjoy the pool.  Please don't worry about children shouting, but 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. 

• 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 back door is open, please use the loo, make drinks, etc. Please feel free to use the cushions and the electric pump in the pool shed for inflatables.

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. 

The chairs dry out in the heat and we don't always notice when they become brittle. They should be okay, but please check them before you use them.

​​

When you leave

If you are the last to leave, please close the pool cover and leave the key under the brick beneath the cover control pad. Please don't put the blue pump back on the cover.

Please push a chair against the pool shed door to keep it closed. Please don't lock it.

If you have any problems

If you need to contact us, please call 07747-111336.​

Please note that everyone uses the pool at their own risk. Please ensure that children are supervised at all times.
