🚻 Tuesday Tip: Toilet before swimming

“I need the toilet!” — usually announced approximately three minutes after the lesson starts! 😂

Encouraging children to use the toilet before getting changed or heading poolside means they're less likely to need to leave halfway through their lesson.
With lessons lasting 30 minutes, every minute in the water counts. 🏊‍♀️

It's a tiny part of your pre-swim routine that can help your child get the most from their lesson.

Toilet ✔️ Hat ✔️ Goggles ✔️ Ready to swim! 💦
