Guidance for Swimming pools

  • All swimming sessions are cureently taking place in our Main Pools. Our Learner and Leisure Pools remained closed at present.
  • We ask that all customers to arrive beach ready with your swimming costume already on underneath your clothes.
  • Changing rooms and lockers will be available.
  • Showers are unavailable.  We ask that you shower at home before and after your swim.
  • Make sure to bring an extra towel – our hairdryers are not available just at the moment, as they can move water vapour through the air.
  • You’ll need to bring your own equipment, like googles and floats, if you have them and please make sure they are clean and identifiable as yours before you arrive.
  • When you are in the pool remember to leave a gap between you and other swimmers, and keep to your allocated lane. Follow the same direction of travel when lane swimming so as to avoid side by side lane swimming with the swimmers beside you.  Please do not overtake whilst swimming. Before pushing off at each turn, check to see if anyone faster is approaching
