Superior marquee structures
When it comes to our programme’s core – the pop-up pools – safety, integrity, and convenience are essential. We are proud of our superior temporary modular structures that house these pools. Here is why they stand out.
Experience and expertise
We’ve teamed up with industry leaders who manufacture and supply high-quality, temporary modular structures. As respected National Outdoor Events Association members, their pedigree speaks volumes about the quality they bring to the Swim:ED programme.
Robust and secure
Our modular structures can be constructed using a blend of hard-sided or PVC materials and feature lockable doors for added security. Instead of traditional one-tonne weights, they’re fixed directly to the playground surface. This process is more secure and leaves your school’s playground untouched and intact.
Quick installation
Time is of the essence. We understand school schedules, so our structures are designed for swift installation, ensuring minimal disruption to your school activities.
Unparalleled safety standards
Safety is non-negotiable. These structures comply with all essential regulations and health and safety standards. Specifically, they adhere to BS6399 for snow and wind loadings, giving schools added peace of mind regarding the resilience and safety of the structures.
Partnering organisations
Emergencies are unpredictable. That’s why our partnering organisation provides expert assistance whenever needed, highlighting our joint commitment to Swim:ED’s smooth operation and safety.
