Sessions

Lane swimming

There are lanes dedicated for people wishing to swim lengths throughout most of the hours of opening. These lanes are for adults (or young people and children who are serious swimmers). Training floats are available on request.

Casual swimming

Sessions where part of the pool is available to everyone. Children under 8 years old must be accompanied by a swimming adult (16+) at all times. The ratio is 1 adult to 2 children under 8 years. We strongly recommend that all non-swimmers wear buoyancy aids.

Women only sessions

On Tuesday evenings from 7.30pm the whole of the building is programmed exclusively for women with female staff. This includes aqua aerobics and deep end swim.
