Disco swim sessions at Riverside

Body board floating in pool, with disco lights in the shape of stars projected on surface of water

For ages 4 to 13, and any customers with sensory needs who wish to attend.

Kick off their weekend with their very own pool party at our fun, upbeat kids aqua disco!

Their very own disco inferno in our heated learner pool, kids can socialise, splash and dance to the latest tracks, jump around in our bubble jets and sing along to their favourite songs under our flashing-coloured lights and disco ball.

With loud music, wall jets, bubblers and fun toys including pool floats and noodles, inflatable toys, watering cans and balls, they can float, dance, splash and play to their heart’s content in this fun and active session. Bring your best dance moves!

We use flashing lights in this session, meaning it may not be suitable for those with epilepsy.

We have a Changing Places unit, an accessible changing room and an accessible toilet in our ground floor changing area.
Our learner pool has a short set of easy access steps into the pool, with hand rails both sides.
We do not have a pool pod or accessible lift into this pool so participants need to be able to get into pool unaided, or with assistance from parents, guardians or carers.

To keep everyone safe, we operate adult to child ratios and maximum capacity at our swimming pools.

Children that are seven years and under can’t use the pool by themselves.
