Swimming

Temporary closure of swimming facilities

We are upgrading our boilers to improve the quality of our services. As a result, the swimming pools, showers, changing rooms, and sauna and steam facilities will be temporarily closed.

Closure dates:

  • closure: 10 January 2025
  • estimated reopening: 28 February 2025

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

For your safety and wellbeing

  • wash/sanitise your hands as you arrive
  • clean equipment with sanitising wipes/sprays before and after use

Under 8s

All children under the age of eight should always be accompanied in and out of the water during un-programmed swimming sessions by a parent.

These are sessions that are open for public recreational swimming rather than those under the direct control or instruction of a group organiser or class teacher/coach.

The adult-to-child ratios must be as follows:- one adult can accompany 2 children under 8 (1:2 ratio).
