New Pool User Guidance

Booking

• Use of the pool is now by appointment only

1. Once a time slot is filled, maximum occupancy will have been reached, so an alternative time slot will be offered where possible to facilitate the guest
2. Please book your appointment by contacting the main Leisure Club Desk on 052-6188733
3. We respectively ask, that should you need to cancel your booking, then you do so.  Releasing the time slot will create more times for others, which is important as we anticipate waiting lists to occur

• Please consider the following guidance:

1. Arrive ready to swim
2. When you are out of the pool, be ready where possible to leave immediately

• Changing room & showers are available at the Leisure Club, but by arriving wearing your swimwear under your clothing and showering in your room pre and post swimming, you will help minimise time spent in the leisure club, limit social interaction and also help maintain the water quality
