Pool Timetable

Swimming is a great way to keep fit, burn calories and improve overall well-being, that’s why we’ve designed our swimming pool timetable to be flexible to suit your schedule.

You can maintain and develop your fitness with swimming sessions, learn to swim whatever your age or take part in our Swimtag challenges to stay healthy.

*Half of the swimming pool has a movable floor to enable shallower water for junior members, swimming lessons and less confident swimmers.

Last entry time for off-peak members is 20 minutes before the end of off-peak hours or the last entry of the day is 20 minutes before closing time. See here and below for off-peak times.

Please ensure you are familiar with the pool etiquette before using the pool.
