Does your school have a swimming pool?

And if so is it indoor or outdoor?

No but a lot of the secondaries in our area do have. Hence DD doesn't do swimming at school any more but she is a good swimmer anyway so I'm not too bothered (and think that it is probably less bothersome for girls if they don't have to deal with school swimming once they hit puberty anyway...)

Yes indoor. The council run leisure centre was built on part of the site of the school a few years ago. They are really fortunate as they are allowed to go swimming most lunch times and sometimes before school.

Oh bugger, I missed the bit that said secondary

No, the secondary ds will attend next year does not have a pool.

Yes, outdoor. They only use it from April to July. I do know they are trying to obtain funding to erect a poly-tunnel type cover so they could use it a bit more often.

yes, outdoor

No. They are a 10 minute walk from the council pool but they don't use that either.
