FAQs
Do the children need to be able to swim?
Yes, all the children must be able to swim 25m and be comfortable in deep water without goggles. The minimum age we can accept is six.
Is there a plan for the party and do we get to experience the bubble machine?
Parties are usually a mix of actual diving and games. There is always 'free time' and 'bubbles' at the end.
Is it OK for parents to watch from poolside?
Parents can either watch bird's eye from the main spectator gallery or from the diving pool upper pooldeck. Entry and exit are through the double doors towards the top of the outside corridor, between the pool office and dive first-aid room. In line with Spectrum's 'no shoes' policy, footwear must be removed when entering the pool hall. Only divers are allowed to walk barefooted along poolside to and from the changing rooms.
Can we use the public changing rooms?
Yes, there are individual cubicles or communal group changing rooms that can be used.
Where should we meet?
Meet on the diving pool upper pooldeck a few minutes before the party is due to start. Partygoers must be changed into their swimwear, ready to get in. No caps or goggles.
How many children can we bring?
A maximum of 12 children.
Availability, prices and times?
Diving parties are mostly held in term-time on Saturdays, between 6-7pm, depending on pool and coach availability. The cost for an hour-long party is £235.95.
