No. Regular nappies are not permitted in the pool and should not be worn during swimming lessons or aquatic play.
🚫 Why Can't Normal Nappies Be Worn in the Water?Standard nappies are not designed for aquatic use and can:
❌ Absorb large amounts of water
❌ Become heavy and uncomfortable
❌ Break down in the water
❌ Fail to contain accidents effectively
To help maintain water quality and hygiene, only approved swim nappies may be worn in the pool.
✅ What Type of Nappy Is Required?All children who are not toilet trained must wear an approved swim nappy.
You can choose either:
🩲 Disposable swim nappies
♻️ Reusable swim nappies
Both options are designed specifically for use in aquatic environments and help contain accidents while allowing children to move comfortably in the water.
Swim nappies are available for purchase at reception on arrival if you have forgotten to bring one.
🏊 Who Needs to Wear a Swim Nappy?Any child who is not fully toilet trained must wear a swim nappy when:
✅ Attending swimming lessons
✅ Participating in aquatic play
