Sessions, lessons, courses,
memberships and party hire

The Oundle School Sports Centre and
Swimming Pool offer a wide variety of facilities
which are available to hire when not in school
use. The impressive 43.5 metre indoor long
course swimming pool offers a variety of
activities throughout the year and is open for
use to the local community, swimming clubs and
other schools.

For those looking for ways to keep fit, learn how
to swim or just enjoy water-based fun, Oundle
School’s swimming pool provides a community
hub, offering a range of swimming activities
throughout the week, which are available to
members and non-members, in addition to a
dedicated free swim session during term-time
for the over 60s.

The long course, 43.5m six lane swimming pool
is open to members at lunchtimes and evenings
on weekdays and evenings at the weekend,
subject to the school timetable. With a full range
of activities and lessons for ages four months
to adults, pool instruction provides a natural
progression of stages, including adult and child
classes, preschool lessons, leading to the swim
school. Experienced teachers are committed
to providing lessons that are fun and inspire
confidence in the water, whilst developing skills
and ultimately stroke technique and stamina.

Adult and Child sessions on Thursday mornings
are designed to introduce babies and young
children to water, with an emphasis on play,
whilst developing water skills and confidence.
Adults accompany their child in the water,
alongside a swimming teacher. With a ratio of
four children to one instructor, the pre-school
lessons on Fridays provide a stepping stone
from adult and child classes. The lessons
allow children to swim independently and gain
confidence, preparing them for the swim school.
Following a structured ASA teaching program,
the Otters Swim School classes cater for all,
from non-swimmers to competent swimmers.

The swimmers work their way through the ASA
awards, receiving certificates and badges to
reward their success. Close links with local
swimming clubs, many of which train at the
pool, allow advanced swimmers the opportunity
to swim at competition level.

Private swimming lessons are available for
children and adults who can work at their own
pace to improve confidence and develop skills
and swimming techniques. Aqua Aerobics on
Mondays is a friendly, lively class. The aerobic
low impact shallow water session caters for all
abilities, and float belts, hand buoys and mitts
are provided to aid resistance, increase mobility,
fitness and muscular strength.

During the school holidays, a wide variety of
alternative courses are offered. These include
snorkelling, learn to dive, rookie lifeguard and
the National Pool Lifeguard qualification. And
just for fun, the popular Inflatable and Fun
Session involves 15 metres of walls, boulders
and a slide.

Membership is not required to attend
lessons or courses. Full details can be
