We only have OPs word that a pool was even advertised.

Without any more details of where , and how it was booked and maybe an email missed etc etc, how can you say compo is in order

Except of course that is your stock answer


It may be an emergency closure and they have offered use of a pool nearby

As I said not enough detail

You don't need proof, you just need to believe what the OP has told us. If they haven't told the truth then your advice will be void, don't worry they wont sue you.

Why did your child need 40 sessions a year to learn to swim ?

1) because she started at age 3 months - surprisingly enough they can't learn to swim in a few lessons at that age. 2 years of lessons is pretty much the minimum. I've known people who stopped after a year and then when they've taken their toddlers back to the pool they have forgotten everything and have to start from scratch again - it's a big commitment in both time and money.

2) she loved the pool but clung to me like a limpet every time she was supposed to swim independently. It took her nearly 4 years before it "clicked". She is now 6 and can swim like a fish - the pool she goes to now doesn't have a shallow part, it's 1.8m deep throughout and she just jumps or dives in and off she goes.

In over thirty years of booking hotels I have never come across a hotel which had a swimming pool but made no mention of it on their website or brochure.

Do you often find hotels where they have a secret pool they don't like to tell people exist?

Fair enough, i was just curious, it seems a lot to pay for and took a long time ? My kids both learned to swim during an intensive 6 week course when they were about 4.

Swin: Old saxon word for pig. (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/swin)

You could pig like a dolphin. Interesting.

Kissy kissy and hugs and thanks and have a nice day y'hear.

I was merely pointing out that 40 lessons to learn how to swim at a young age is pretty excessive.

There's a world of difference between learning to swim at age 5 and aged 3 months.
