The booking system allows you to book sessions, and pay for them with your credit/debit card. You will be able to book pool parties and children's swimming lessons.

Pool Parties

• Advance party bookings: A pool booking well in advance is available (you know when your birthday is!) where you can bring up to 35 swimmers and some spectators. There is a covered veranda area where the group can congregate after or during the swim.

• Please note that if you have booked an hour, you can only be on site for an hour. Because the next session will be starting immediately after yours. So you will be asked to vacate the water a bit before the hour, to allow people to change and leave the site. If you think you need longer, then please book 2 consecutive hours. The price for an hour booking is £65.

• Small bookings: Once we have got our timetable populated, we may find that there are some unbooked slots in the upcoming week. These are made available, the week before, to book at a reduced rate of £45! These sessions are limited to a maximum of 12 swimmers.

With these very economical prices, it might be tempting to hire the pool for regular group activities that are not just general swimming (e.g. out-of-town swimming clubs). Please note that setting up semi-commercial routine use of the pool is not permitted, unless arranged formally with the trustees. This is not welcome because the facility is for the use of the public in the Wotton area, who contribute towards funding the pool via council tax.

Children's Swimming Lessons

We are pleased to be able to offer half-hour swimming lessons again. These are offered on Saturday mornings at 10:00, 10:30 & 11:00 As in previous years we are running beginners, intermediates/improvers and advanced.

• The beginners will use the shallow end of the pool (it's 1 metre deep, so they must be tall enough to stand on tip-toe and still breathe at that depth).

• The intermediates/improvers (who must be able to swim a width easily) will use the deeper parts of the pool (at the same time as the beginners) and normally swim widths.

• The advanced sessions will use the whole pool and usually swim lengths

A course of 6 lessons (at all levels) is offered for the fee of £30

Due to the limitations we have at Wotton Pool, children have to be at least 4 years old. And the form of the lessons is that the parent/guardian is not expected to enter the water with the child.

Based on experience and the capability of the group, it may be appropriate to recommend a change of level for the trainee.
