The pool
Warm, shallow and ours — so we're not working round anybody else's timetable.

All year round. People don't learn in cold water.
The same all the way along, so there's no deep end to worry about.
Watching the lesson
You don't have to miss it. There are windows to watch through and televisions in reception, so you can see exactly what your child is doing all the way through the lesson.
Changing
There are male and female changing rooms and a disabled changing facility. Each one has a private cubicle, a toilet and showers.
The showers take a minute to warm up. Run one, give it a moment, and run it again — it gets there, it just needs waking up first.
Parking
There's a large car park on site, and it's free. You won't be hunting for a space.
Getting here
We're on the A629, the main road out of Halifax towards Denholme, and we're pinned on Google Maps — search Ogden Otters and it will bring you straight here.
Turning up
Come as early as you like. At busy times the seating in reception fills up, so about fifteen minutes before the lesson is usually about right.
That gives you time to get changed and find a seat without anybody rushing.
Come and have a look. You're welcome to call in and see the place before you book anything.
