A thought crossed my mind today...

If you can't wear a watch in the park, how do you know what the time is, so you can be at the right place for your allocated swim time??? :confused:


Amazing what pops into your head at the 11th hour isn't it?:D

The lockers are free hence you can leave your watch in the lockers.

You could also watch the sun and determine the time......:-) HAHA

DH wore his waterproof watch and we have never been asked for the time so often, he said he felt like the speaking clock.

Try and make sure you get there early enough to be allocated an early swim time. We were there for about 8am and got the 2nd swim of the day, so by the time we'd had our free photo done, sorted out lockers and wetsuits we didn't have long to wait.

You'll have a great day :D

All the staff wear watches so just ask, we found them very helpful.

I don't remember taking my watch off - mine was waterproof too.

Have just looked at the photos and my watch is on my wrist!!

We phoned the day before to request a swim time. It's not guaranteed but it worked for us.

We did the swim last week, my daughter had to take out her earings, i think you could wear a watch if you wanted, a brilliant experience. Hutch was our Dolphin.

We carried around the free plastic watch the kids got in their Virgin bags - not waterproof but did come in handy. Left in on the loungers it wasn't worth any stealing it and they didn't.

we both wore our watches on the first swim of the day, mine is a very smarkly one, asked and they said it was fine.
