If your child struggles in group settings, we are limiting the number of participants for our SEN FREE Junior Swim Sessions at Volair Kirkby to 30, to help create a more relaxed and manageable space for everyone. This allows all children to access a fun, safe, and comfortable environment. The free SEN swim at Volair Kirkby will take place from Sunday, 27 July until Sunday, 31 August. No need to book. An accompanying adult swim costs £6 per person.

Key SEN Information

  • If you’re not already a registered Volair member, we recommend that you register online before visiting.  It’s free to register and saves you queuing time at reception when you arrive.
  • Does your child require one-to-one assistance to move in the water? Parental supervision is required.
  • Does your child have any restrictions or limitations in or under the water? Parental supervision is required.
  • Does your child require medication during the session? Parental supervision is required.
  • Please review our swimming pool admissions policies before visiting.

These SEN sessions aim to create a welcoming environment for children and young people who prefer a calmer, more intimate group experience. These sessions have a reduced capacity to offer ‘sensory-friendly’ sessions, where the pool is quieter. Children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by a responsible adult at a ratio of no more than 1 adult to 2 children.
