💙 You said it, we did it!!
We’ve had lots of customers asking us to add a wider shower stool to our accessible room — and we’re pleased to say it’s now here! 🙌
Our new Wide Polyurethane Moulded Shower Stool provides a comfortable and secure place to sit while showering, making it especially useful for anyone who finds standing for longer periods difficult.
✨ Features include:
- Wide seat and wider-set armrests for additional space and support
- Height-adjustable seat and backrest
- Textured, non-slip polyurethane for comfort and security
- Lateral armrests for added support
- Non-slip rubber ferrules to help keep the stool securely in place
- Corrosion-resistant epoxy-coated steel frame
- Ribbed seat and backrest that allow water to drain away easily
It’s designed to make showering safer, more comfortable and more accessible — while providing extra space for larger users.
Thank you to everyone who suggested it! ❤️

🐪🏜️ Sahara, here she comes! 🏜️🐪

We’re incredibly proud to support Claire, a very well-known and much-loved member of the Ongar Leisure Centre community, who is taking on an incredible challenge next week.

After a year of hard training, Claire will be heading to the Sahara Desert to trek 50km — facing scorching conditions, no showers, very basic toilet facilities and sleeping in a tent! 😮‍💨💪

Claire is one of 31 amazing people taking part, all connected to St Clare Hospice Just outside Ongar, raising vital funds for a charity that means so much to so many.

Claire is also the proud mum of one of our own lifeguards, Ted, so this challenge is particularly close to our hearts. 💙

She has already raised an incredible £9,668 this year and is so close to reaching that amazing £10,000 target! 🎉

If you can spare even a few pounds to support Claire as she takes on this huge challenge, it really would make such a difference.

👉 Please sponsor Claire here:
http://www.justgiving.com/page/claire-bodiam-7

Good luck, Claire! We’ll be cheering you on every step of those 50km! 🐪🩵

Every pound really does make a difference. Thank you all so much for your support. ❤️

Would you like this to sound a little more formal, or keep the warm community feel

💙 Important update for our swim lesson families 🏊‍♀️
Unfortunately, Carol has fractured her ankle and will be unable to teach for the next few weeks while she recovers. We’re sure you’ll join us in wishing Carol a speedy recovery! 💐
Please don’t worry — we have cover teachers in place to ensure your children can continue with their swimming lessons as normal and keep progressing while Carol is away.
We’ll keep you updated and look forward to welcoming Carol back to the pool when she’s ready. 🩵
Thank you for your understanding and continued support! 🌊

New school year, new skills! 🏊

According to Swim England, a child is a competent swimmer when they can:

✅ Star float for 60 seconds

✅ Tread water for 30 seconds

✅ Swim in clothing

✅ Swim 100 metres non-stop with ease

Getting kids into the water early builds confidence and essential skills, setting them up for a lifetime of staying active and having fun.
