Pool Timetable Changes: Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th Jan
On Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th January, there will be a reduced swim programme in both the small and main pool. This is due to the ongoing maintenance work being carried out to the main pool floor. The casual swim times for both pools are as follows. Tue 7th: Main Pool (07:00 – 08:00); Small Pool (08:45 – 09:20, 12:00 – 13:00, 14:00 – 15:30, 19:00 – 20:45). Wed 8th: Small Pool (07:00 – 09:50, 12:15 – 13:00). We will confirm the availability of the main pool on Wednesday afternoon as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience.
