Changing Room

Please enter the swimming pool via the side door – the main entrance to the building will be closed on Saturdays.
This venue has 3 small shared changing rooms – 1 male, 1 female, and 1 family changing room. Male/female changing rooms are to be shared by two adult/child pairs at a time. If you require assistance to dress your child after class, you must use the family changing room (and may need to wait) or there are also changing tables located in the toilets located near where you enter the building – a second parent not participating in the lesson may wish to use these facilities to dress their child after lessons instead of waiting for the Family Changing Room.
Please bring your swim nappies home with you after class, this venue does not currently offer Nappy Bins.

All children not yet potty-trained must wear either a Double Nappy (both a disposable or reusable swim nappy, and a Happy Nappy) to baby and toddler swimming lessons at Enable Ireland Kildare.
Infant goggles are recommended for children attending our toddler and preschool levels, and should be worn with a swim hat to prevent any hair tangles or discomfort. Infant goggles are not required for our baby level swimming lessons.
All adults must wear a swim hat and swimwear. A pair of clear-lensed, clear framed googles are also recommended, especially for parents attending our baby levels.
