Action Required

From Saturday 1st June 2024

Dear Swim School Members,

We hope your child is enjoying their swimming lessons at our facility in Goodwood. As part of our commitment to our contractual arrangements at Goodwood and the new family swim policy and charges, we have implemented a No Swim School Spectators on Poolside policy starting 1st June 2024. We kindly request that parents refrain from spectating from poolside during swimming lessons. Goodwood welcomes you to use the bar and café facilities during lesson times and alternatively in the warmer months you are welcome to spectate outside from the poolside windows. You may remember this option during the Covid Pandemic. A 10% discount code/voucher will be available at reception on arrival for the café

A message from Goodwood and G Ball Swim School. “Our mission is to create a welcoming environment that caters to the needs of each and every member and their guests. Due to this, we will be implementing a booking system for our family swim times and revised guest fee charges for children aged 1-5 years old. We will be implementing a new charge of £5 for age 1-5 in the Club. This adjustment will enable us to maintain and enhance the quality of our facilities and services. We understand that any pricing adjustments may raise questions, and we want to assure you that these decisions were made thoughtfully and to improve your experience with us. This new guest fee adjustment will be from 1 June 2024. Guest passes for 6–16 year olds remain at £10 each. Further to this, we will be introducing a new booking system for family swim times in the pool. We aim to provide our members with a smoother, more convenient way to access the pool facilities, knowing that you can plan your family swim sessions with confidence, in a comfortable environment. (Please note you do not need to book your child one of these slots if they are booked into a swimming lesson) 

G Ball Swim School fully support this change. It will help us avoid non paying members of Goodwood from using the pool, allow us to keep spectating to a minimum and provide a better experience to all and ultimately securing the swim school operations at Goodwood.

• Monday to Friday: 12pm – 6pm
