ENSURE YOU GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR FITNESS SWIM

Swim Etiquette

• Pre Cleanse
Please help us to keep your pool clean by following our Swim Hygiene guidelines by showering and using the toilet facilities before you swim.
• Respect
People of different standards and abilities will use the pool. Please respect their right to enjoy their swim.
• Speed
Choose your lane using the fast, medium and slow signs and by watching those already swimming. Before pushing off at each turn, check to see if anyone faster is approaching.
• Direction
Please follow the directional signs and move across to the appropriate side of the lane for each length.
• Space
Try and leave at least 5 metres between yourself and another swimmer and if it’s possible to see a pace clock, then a 5 second gap is just as good.
• Strokes
Wide stokes such as butterfly and breaststroke should be avoided when the lanes become busy. If you change to a slower stroke as part of your session, think about moving lanes.
• Equipment
Fitness swimming training equipment, such as fins and hand paddles, is permitted at the discretion of the lifeguard and based on capacity. Snorkels can be used in conjunction with conventional swimming goggles.
• Resting
Whether stopping for a rest or catching your breath after completing your swim, please be mindful that others using the lane will want to keep on swimming without stopping.
• Share
Celebrate your achievements and share your swimming stories
with us on social media using #betterswimming, we’d love to hear them!

Swim for Fitness

We are lucky to have one of the most eye catching indoor pools with natural light during the day due to our glass roof and a well-lit but relaxing environment in the evening. This is the perfect pool if you’re looking for a low-impact way to get fit and healthy, with continuous lane swimming for over 11s. Our Swim for Fitness sessions take place in slow, medium and fast lanes, so you can take things at your own pace. The Main Pool is 1.5m deep and 25m in length, and is equipped with a hoist making it accessible to those who require it.
