Pool Etiquette
- Please be reminded that during peak times you may be asked to 'circle' swim to enable all pool users to get the maximum benefits of the pool.
- In order to ensure hygiene standards are upheld, we ask that all users shower before entering the pool.
- Sandals and slippers may be worn in the indoor and outdoor pool area provided they are used in these areas ONLY and not worn outside.
- Nappy guards must be worn by all children who are not yet toilet trained.
Diving Safety Rules
- Only one person at a time is permitted on the diving boards.
- Before diving, make sure the surrounding area in the pool is clear and that another member is not just about to dive from another board.
- No diving from the sides of boards.
- After completing your dive you must immediately vacate the pool to the side, swimming away from the diving area to avoid any collisions.
