Lane swimming

From 17 May, casual lane swimming sessions are open to adult swimmers and children aged 12 and older. This is strictly for lane swimming only. An adult must accompany any child aged 12 to 16 to their session, either as a participant or spectator. 

Lane swimming will only be allowed in the centre's main pool during member and casual swimming sessions. Numbers will be limited to enable social distancing in line with government guidance. 

Lanes will be available through hourly pre-booked slots for swimmers aged 16 and older.
