The management finally agreed to turn up the heat for the toddler sessions and they are already sticking to the new, warmer temperature. My arms are tired from carrying shivering kids through this process, but the relief of finally seeing them swim in comfort makes the struggle worth it. I …

As a regular user of Parklands Leisure centre Okehampton's toddler and family swim sessions it is becoming almost impossible to take the children swimming there. I have complained on numerous occasions that the pool is too cold and within minutes the children are shivering and lip's going blue, the response to this is that the temperature is within regulations. I would like all parents and carers to sign this petition so we can get them to make sure the pool is at a suitably temperature that will allow children to enjoy the experience of learning to swim. Please sign this petition. Thank you.

Literally cant take my daughter anymore as she turns into an icicle instantly. So frustrating when you pay good money for these sessions.

My little boy was crying the whole time last week because he was so freezing. It makes no sense to bring them if they cant even enjoy it.

Lips were blue within 5 mins. Not okay for babies.
