To ask if your child’s secondary school has a pool?

[Mickmick123]

My local private school has an indoor swimming pool. Other than that no local secondaries do. One nearby used to but it was shut down due to heating being unaffordable. Recently, I was visiting my sister who lives miles away and her DS15 is currently doing a swimming unit in PE as his (state) school has a pool. I would assume most primary’s would be too small to have one. Aibu to ask if 1) your child’s school has a pool and 2) do you think your dc benefit from their school having one

Nope. Never heard of a school with a swimming pool!

No, but the school shares a car park with the local leisure centre which has a pool, so the students have priority for lessons there during the day, so it's pretty much as good as having their own.

Canon Slade?

Both secondaries in the town where I live have swimming pools and also one of the 6 primary schools have one. Three of the primary schools and one secondary I have worked in also have pools.

Most seem to supplement the running costs by subbing out to private swim schools who use the facilities after school and at the weekends.
