New Pool User Guidance

Booking

• Use of the pool is now by appointment only

1. Each slot will be 60 mins long (15 minutes to allow for changing and showering)
2. 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
3. Please book your appointment by contacting the main Leisure Club Desk on 052-6188733
4. 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
5. Bookings will only be taken maximum 24hrs in advance of the required time & day of use of the pool
