Swimming Pool Bookings
Summer Splash Sessions at St Mary’s!
We are delighted that our beautiful school pool is back in action in time for the summer and excited to be able to offer it for private hire to St. Mary's families during the summer break!
Book your Summer Splash Session at our newly refurbished school pool!
Thanks to your incredible fundraising efforts, we now have a fantastic pool that’s a unique and valuable asset. By booking a session at the pool, you’re not only having fun but continuing to support St Mary’s and our children's education. To keep our pool in top condition, we need everyone to follow a few simple rules. This helps ensure we can continue to enjoy this wonderful facility for many years to come.
Key Information
Availability
- Sessions are available as various slots on Monday and Wednesday.
- Booking is on a first-come, first-served basis for St. Mary’s families.
Price:
- £35 per one-hour session
- This price is made up of two parts:
£20 pool hire with a maximum of 20 people in the pool. This price includes a pool supervisor to answer any queries while the pool is new.
£15 for a lifeguard. The lifeguard will be provided by the Friends of St. Mary's. As the PTA is made up of volunteers, it would be too hard to monitor the inbox, check certification etc. during the holidays. Providing lifeguards in advance ensures that we know every session will be compliant with our risk assessment and that they're sufficiently qualified. The phone number of your lifeguard will be on your confirmation email if you need to contact them directly.
Supervision:
- A responsible adult (18+) must supervise children at the poolside at all times, in addition to the lifeguard.
- The ratio of swimming children to adults is 10:1, not including the lifeguard.
- Non-swimmers and weak swimmers must be accompanied by an adult in the pool.
Site Rules:
- No food allowed on-site.
- Only drinks in water bottles are permitted.
Fair Usage Policy:
- We want to ensure everyone has a chance to enjoy our beautiful outdoor pool in the summer holidays. As such we ask that each family books just one session in advance.
- However, is a session is available the day before then you can book it and have another go!
If You Can’t Attend:
- We ask that you cancel your hire up to 1 day before, to allow others the chance to book. Use 'Manage Ticket' on the booking page.
- If you're unable to attend after this time, please email SwimmingAtStMarys@gmail.com, to let the lifeguard and supervisor know that you will not be attending.
General:
- No refunds unless the session is cancelled by The Friends of St. Mary's.
- Read and agree to our Pool Information, Procedures, and T&C's before booking.

Thank you again for your amazing support!
How To Cancel / Amend A Booking
You can cancel or reschedule a session up until the day before, under the 'Manage Tickets' link on Ticket Tailor.
Follow the link here and you will find the 'Manage Booking' under the 'Buy Tickets' on the right hand side of the screen.
We request that you do cancel a booking in advance as that will open the session to someone else to book.
If you need to cancel after this time then please send an email to SwimmingAtStMarys@gmail.com to let them know that you will not be attending. The supervisor and lifeguard will have access to this and therefore will know not to expect you.
Feedback
We would love to gather feedback on our PTA splash sessions. If you're willing to provide this then please follow the link here.
Note that this is feedback on your experience of the PTA sessions, not on the pool itself.
