Centre rules - swimming

Pre-booking

Use of the pool will be via pre-booked slots only. You can pre-book your session(s) online, by telephoning the centre or visiting the site. You will need a leisure card in order to do this.

Slots will initially be available to book a maximum of 48 hours in advance, subject to availability.

Sessions may be cancelled up to 2 hours before your session time. Failure to cancel your session will incur a "did not attend" record. Any member not showing for 3 sessions in a single month period will have their booking rights withdrawn for a period of one week.

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. Such sessions are those that are open for public recreational swimming as opposed to those under the direct control or instruction of a group organiser or class teacher/coach.
