Tongham, Farnham

Our fantastic private pool complex in Tongham, Farnham is a lovely 33 degrees and hosts baby, toddler, preschool, school aged and adult classes.

Pool Details

Our Tongham pool is situated within a private residence and is perfect for learning in. There is plenty of easily accessible parking available in the layby opposite the house and community centre just down the road.

The pool complex has custom built changing facilities and toilet and shower facilities are available at the pool. The pool itself is heated to a toasty 33 degrees and there is seating on poolside for parents to watch the lessons. Our Tongham pool is cosy and calm and offers a relaxed environment for children and parents to learn in, which is much less daunting that a full sized pool for new or nervous children, or those with additional support needs.

Please arrive no more than 10 minutes before your lesson start time and ensure you are ONLY park in the layby opposite the house and community centre just down the road. These parking areas are part of our commercial license agreement with Guildford Council. We are very fortunate to use such a lovely private pool so please be courteous and respectful towards the homeowners, their friends and family, the neighbours and local community.

Anyone entering the changing room or poolside must remove their shoes and store them on the shoe rack provided. Once you are changed and ready please ensure anyone entering the pool has used the toilet and had a quick shower before coming on to poolside. Please make sure you shower slightly before their lesson start time to ensure a smooth change-over period between lessons.

We fully appreciate that it is very enjoyable and rewarding for parents to watch their children learning to swim and share their enthusiasm. We politely ask that parents refrain from talking to their children whilst lessons are taking place as this draws the children’s attention away from the teacher and the lesson, which can be very dangerous. If you feel by watching the lessons on poolside your child is becoming distracted and not reaching their potential we are more than happy for parents to wait in the changing room or in their car whilst lessons take place. Please do not leave the site in case of emergency.

Please change in a timely manner after the lesson has finished and leave the property very quietly, with children fully supervised at all times, especially near the roads. We are very lucky to use this fantastic home pool – please be courteous towards the owners and visitors.
