Parkdean activities booking

We have a weekend booked with Parkdean at half-term and didn't get the email telling us when activity bookings opened. I just thought about it this morning and checked and swimming is completely booked up. The main reason we were going is because my DD2 loves swimming. Has anyone been in a similar situation and still been able to get into the pool? I guess lots of people book sessions they don't use but will that mean there will be space for us to go?
I'm so annoyed with myself I didn't think about it sooner. I was so excited about going as its a bog treat for us and now feeling like I've ruined it. I'll call Parkdean later but was hoping for some reassurance.

Don't they have drop in times now?

Can I ask what happened in the end? Having the same issue with May half term holiday!

@TinyBearCub Same question to you please! I.e. what happened in the end with your holiday swimming? As you've likely guessed, we're in the same position for the summer.

Everytime we've gone since booking was required it's always been booked out but we just turn up and get let in. I've never been turned away. 4 different sites too. You'll be fine.

That's great to hear, thank you!

@LittleRedYoshi sorry, I didn't see this. We went swimming loads and never got turned away. I saw people queuing in a short queue a couple of times but that was all. The place was fully booked and the weather was quite shit, so I'd say peak swimming demand time!

We’re at a Parkdean resort now and I asked the same question about swimming - apparently they only have 15 pre-book places for each swim time so it’s quickly filled but then loads left for people just to turn up
