Introducing Riversdale Primary Swimming Pool
The Riversdale Primary Swimming Pool is a great size for toddlers, pre-school and primary aged children to learn early swimming skills, have fun and build their water confidence. Compared to busy public pools, it really helps the child’s concentration and to feel safe with their swimming teacher.
Our swimming teachers
We have a rota of dedicated swimming teachers at our Riversdale swimming pool who are all are either Swim England or Swimming Teachers Association Level 2 qualified or above (or hold equivalent certification). They all hold relevant first aid certification and all have up to date DBS certificates – to ensure the safety of your children.
