Mad4Kids – Summer 2021

The Sports Centre has made the decision to postpone Mad4Kids summer school in summer 2021 to focus on the full re-opening of the Sports Centre ensuring it is as safe as possible for its visitors. We are looking forward to bringing back Mad4Kids in 2022.

Swimming

We are delighted to be able to welcome you back for our General/family swim. These sessions are for individuals and same households only.

For your safety, please read the following information before booking and arriving for your swim.

For general/family swims the pool will be divided in half (each side 25m x 8.5m) with a maximum number of 10 users per side.

The sessions will run in 1-hour blocks with staggered start times of half an hour difference between each side of the pool. There will be no lane swimming available during these times.

In line with government guidance, families or individuals cannot mix with other swimmers/groups in the pool during these sessions.

All swimmers must book and pay for activities in advance and bookings for this session can only be done via reception (either in person or over the phone). A list of those attending “general swims” will be kept by our receptionists for checking in on the day and for track and trace reasons. All swimmers must be named at the time of booking and you may be asked to show proof swimmers are from one household.

Changing facilities are available with a maximum number of 10 customers using this area at any one time. We ask our Customers to please maintain social distancing whilst using the pool/change facilities. Our lifeguards will also be supervising social distancing.

Sorry but no spectators are allowed during any indoor sessions, so children swimming must be supervised in the water by an appropriate adult (in-line with our normal admission policy – see below).

We are asking customers to bring their own swimming aids (armbands, woggles, etc). Lockers are available to use to store belongings and can be operated by a £1 coin or a trolley token.

Normal pay and play prices/membership benefits apply.

Members – No charge (included in memberships)

Adult - £4.55

Child - £2.95

Admission policy:

Children age 8-10 – any number of children from same household supervised by an adult (adult must also be swimming)
