Notes: For the training pool sessions, parents or carers do need to join their young people in the pool. This is because they are the younger attendees and are beginners. This also helps build their rapport in the water and with with the swim staff. Some are non verbal and it helps the young people have a positive experience with the water. Plus swimming with your child is a great experience. Carers in the pool do need to be at least 14 years and over and can be a sibling.
