As we do every year, Christmas Week will be full of festive games, races and music. With jingle jumps, sleigh rides, reindeer races and hook-an-elf, it'll be a lesson that they won't want to miss.

We do understand that the last week of term can be a busy one for families and so not everyone will be able to make their normal session. Due to this, we tend to merge lessons to ensure that there are enough participants for the games/races and to maintain a fun and festive atmosphere. This can sometimes mean that on this occasion; with two lessons merged together; there might be up to 12 swimmers per half-hour session. Changing facilities will in this instance become very crowded and so we recommend that your child brings quick-change clothing or a dry-robe to wear home post lesson.

If your child is unable to make their normal swim day due to other festivities but would still like to partake in the Christmas Party Week, please email paceswim@hotmail.com to arrange an alternative day.

In the past, The Dragon Pool has closed from Christmas until mid-February due to the colder weather.

We have decided next year to REMAIN OPEN with lessons recommencing on Monday 6th January after the Christmas Holidays.

As The Dragon Pool has not opened during this colder season in the past, it will be trial and error as to how well the enclosure retains the heat and so we urge you to consider additional swim-wear such as thermal rash-vests and dry-robes during these colder months.

Catch-Ups can be used when your child has missed a lesson due to illness, holiday or prior commitments. These need to be arranged between yourself and our Lead Instructor, Yazmin, and are only permittable if space allows.

These are a gesture of good-will to our customers and contain no monetary value.

Missed lessons cannot be redeemed as credit towards the following term nor accumulated and transferred to the proceeding term. Credit notes are only issued when lessons are cancelled by PACE SWIM.

If you do not attend a catch-up in the term that your lesson was missed, unfortunately this catch-up opportunity is thereby lost.
