• All carers of children who require assistance must enter via the back-entrance at the same time as the schools.
• As an alternative, if they are entering through Aquatic Reception, the child must come to reception with a valid companion card to gain free entry. If not, the appropriate entry fee will be payable with our Customer Service Officers.
