Oaklands Community Pool

Baby swimming lessons in Lordshill, Southampton

Baby Squids Southampton

Oaklands Community Pool is a purpose built charity-run swimming pool. The pool is heated to 30.5/31 degrees which makes for a lovely temperature for our young swimmers. Lessons are held in the learner pool which has stepped entry. In 2019 the changing rooms have been completely redesigned as a changing village refitted with plenty of large family cubicles and brand new showers. Viewing for grandparents and other spectators takes place in two purpose built rooms with large television screens.

Lovely purpose-built pool

The pool car park has ample free parking and is easily accessible in a couple of minutes from junction 3 of the M27. This is a truly fabulous swimming pool facility! It is close to Lordshill Centre bus stops with regular bus links from Southampton town centre, Shirley, Romsey and further afield. The Lordshill area has a large Sainsburys with a Starbucks café attached. Next door to Sainsburys is a pharmacy, and library all within a couple of minutes walk from the pool.

Since starting Baby Squids nearly a year ago, my son has just loved it. He looks forward to swimming every week and often talks about it to other family members. He’s so confident in the water now, and I’m really impressed with how well he’s done. All the instructors we have seen have been excellent – friendly, happy and they really enjoy helping the children to swim. Aimee Ellis – Southampton

I have been taking my son Arlo to baby squids since before he was one and he is now 3 and a half. Emma is an absolutely fantastic teacher. She is so patient and enthusiastic about what she does and Arlo is always so excited to be in the water. My son has ASD and Emma is so inclusive and goes above and beyond to make sure that he feels comfortable. She made visual support cards for him too! I now take my three month old daughter Maeve and I cannot think of anywhere else for her swimming journey to begin. Thank you for everything Emma! Anisha Keane – Southampton, Hampshire
