Neonatal Swimming at The Fish Tank

We are absolutely thrilled to announce the return of our wonderful swim sessions! This has been made possible thanks to the generous funding we received from The Teesside Family Foundation at their Together for Teesside event.

At Leo’s, we know that a neonatal stay is a journey that affects the whole family. That’s why these exclusive sessions are designed to offer a safe, warm, and supportive environment for everyone. Unlike many standard pools, this venue is lovely, clean, and beautifully warm - making it absolutely perfect for our neonatal families.

Booking Information: Because we know just how popular these sessions are, we want to ensure families who haven’t had the opportunity to attend before get a chance to join us. To book, we ask that you meet one of the following criteria:

• You have had a baby in neonatal care within the last 3 years, OR
• You have accessed support through Leo’s within the last 2 years.

IMPORTANT BOOKING DETAILS: Please ensure you have added details for each person attending. Then, be sure to click 'Book' once you have completed the form, and wait to see the final confirmation page to ensure your spaces are saved.

As always, please be mindful, if your little one, you or anyone in your household has been unwell please do not attend your session, and where possible give us 24 hours notice so we can offer the space to another family.

Medical & Safety Information If your child requires medical equipment (such as oxygen or an NG tube), they are absolutely welcome to attend! We just kindly ask that you check with their medical team before booking. Any children with Oxygen will require an extension tube (This is usually green) Staff have experience supporting babies with oxygen in the pool and will be on hand to help if needed.

Pool Hygiene & Nappies

The Fish Tank pool operates a strict 'Happy Nappy' policy. Any babies or children who wear nappies must wear a 'Happy Nappy' under their swimsuit. You can purchase these online beforehand or directly at the pool on the day.
