Entry
-
Please do not attend the facility if you or a family member are unwell.
-
Ensure you have a pre-booked session to gain entry.

Please download the App and use the access barcode to reduce contact.
-
If you intend to swim for less than 1hr we request, you attend 5/10 min after the hour entry time to help reduce queue times.
-
Please do NOT congregate with other customers pre/post swim or turn up too early for your session.
-
Please sanitise/ wash hands pre and post swim.
-
Please come ‘beach ready’ i.e. wearing your costume or swim shorts under your clothes. Limited changing rooms available at your facility in our opening phase.
-
Please bring a bag to store your clothing and belongings which will remain on poolside as lockers will not be available.
-
When you see a green card at the poolside, it is safe to leave your belongings here. Red cards mean the area has been used and needs cleaned.
-
Do not bring any valuables into the centre.
-
Please bring a towel to dry off and be prepared to go home in your swim wear and clothes over the top if changing rooms are not available.
-
Bring a filled water bottle with you.

Bottles can be left at the end of a lane for rehydration if needed.
During your swim
-
All members must ensure that you have read and understood the pool operation during this time.
-
All members and visitors must always maintain social distance rules and follow all instructional signage and requests from poolside staff.
-
You must swim in the same direction.
-
Please do not overtake the person in front of you and remain a good distance behind them.
-
Please choose the lane that suits your ability or preference.
-
If you need to stop at the end of a lane, please keep near a lane rope so you can avoid swimmers turning at the end of the lane.
-
Please do not have more than two people at the end of each lane who are resting and keep at least a 1 metre apart.
-
Please ensure you bring your own float as these will not be available for you at the centre.
-
Please keep front crawl leg kick under the surface to avoid splashing the person behind you – you may go faster too!
-
Keep an eye of the time and exit the pool with 5 mins to go to the end of your hour session. This will give you time to dry off and move away from the entrance before the next session begins.
-
The centre may blow a whistle to let you know you have reached the 5 min marker.
-
Please leave the pool promptly by the designated steps at the end of your session.
Post Swim
-
Showers will not be available in any area of the building so please plan to shower when you get home.
-
If there are no changing rooms available, then please dry off on the deck and if you have a modesty towel then please use this to towel off and re dress.
-
When you finish, please turn the green card around to let the staff know to clean this area before the next customer arrives.
-
As you leave the facility please Wash/sanitise your hands as you go.
