Our USP is that we have a make-up policy, so you never need to pay for a missed lesson. Anytime your child cannot make their lesson, log on to their account online, and mark them as absent before their lesson starts. A token will be applied to your account within 24 hours and you can use this to view our schedule online and find another class on an alternative day and book in!

Our small pool is set to 32 degrees so is lovely and warm and parents can watch their lesson from the Reception area via our screens.

All children should bring goggles for all their lessons and if they have long hair please ensure it is tied back.

Help Luke fundraise for Action Medical Research

In June this year, Shirley Pool managing director, Luke Perry, will take part in a team endurance race on the Jurassic coast to raise money for this vital charity. ‘Race the Sun’ is a triathlon style, dawn to dusk off-road race, tackling the rugged coastline by bike, hike and kayak.

All funds raised will be donated to Action Medical Research; the leading UK charity dedicated to funding vital research to help sick and disabled babies, children, and young people. Action has been funding medical breakthroughs for 70 years now and has helped to beat polio, fight meningitis, prevent stillbirths, and develop ultrasound scanning in pregnancy.

By supporting Luke and Action Medical Research, you are helping to find ways to reduce premature birth, supporting children facing a lifetime of challenges caused by disabilities, and driving forward the development of cutting-edge therapies for rare and incurable diseases.

You can support Luke and the team by donating through the Just Giving page here.
